THE PERFECT PUPPY, How to Raise a Well-Behaved Dog,

A Reader’s Digest Book.
This is a helpful all-purpose reference for puppy owners and would-be puppy owners. I include it in my Litter Packages. Much behavioral information, emphasizes prevention rather than cure and positive reinforcement. Many color photographs.
LITTLE DOG MOON
By Maxine Trottier & Rick Jacobson, Stoddart Publishing.
A delightful children’s picture book, about a little TT who knows the unguarded paths out of the mountains and leads two Tibetan children to refuge in Nepal. A sweet story and fabulous illustrations.
DOG EAT DOG

A humorous and truthful book about dogs and dog shows, a wacky and wonderful behind-the-scenes look at the subculture of the professional dog-show circuit. An enormously enjoyable read.
“I give it a best-in-book!”
SUCCESSFUL DOG BREEDING (2nd edition)
By Chris Walkowicz and Bonnie Wilcox
This is my favorite whelping reference book. It is an award-winner,
written for the novice breeder and also the experienced. Comprehensive,
sensible, enjoyable language and prose, graced with entertaining touches of description and humor (always truthful!).
BONES WOULD RAIN FROM THE SKY
By Suzanne Clothier.
I LOVE this book, reread passages often, and am endlessly inspired and enriched. Any dog lover/companion person should have it, not only TT folk.
It examines and deeper the RELATIONSHIP between humans and dogs. It addresses dog training, understanding, and communicating ‘across the breeds’. It is consummately readable, informative, wise, and warm-hearted. I cannot speak highly enough of this book, without dispute the best I have ever read about the canine-human bond. “A memorable tribute to the grace, spirit, and soul of our co-pilots through life.”
These are both by Jon Katz, an author who now exclusively writes about dogs…
A Dog Year
My scribbled recorded comments that I make after reading any book said “Wonderful! Witty, informative, Absorbing!” Not specifically about TTs, but hugely relevant for any dog lover and human companion. A critic:: This is a lovable mutt of a book!” It turned me into a Jon Katz fan.
The Dogs of Bedlam Farm
A sequel, of sorts, to A Dog Year, in that two of the earlier dogs, continue as protagonists. This book is heartwarming, full of drama, insight, and hard-won wisdom. Katz wrote in the Prologue:
“It is about how several dogs led me to confront my own sense of humanity and challenged me to try to be a better human being. It’s about the startling degree to which dogs can enter and alter human life.”

“The Other End of The Leash “
by Patricia B. McConnell, PHD.
It was recommended to me by my mentor and it is the most informative book I have ever read. The insight as to how dogs interpret our behavior just blows my mind. And the advice as to how we should interact with our dogs is so helpful. It is a “MUST READ BOOK FOR EVERY TT OWNER”

“Breeding and Showing Purebred Dogs” More Adventures On The Road To Westminster
By: Robert Freeman and Toni Freeman
This book was actually the first book in my dog library and while I do not know the authors, I feel as though I know their Clumbers. Throck & Mortana (clumbers) taught me all my beginning foundation about breeding. I have never been without it in time of question and it has literally been a lifesaver book. The entire book is written about this brood bitch and stud dog who go through every stage of life as a show dog and their breeding experiences. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is breeding whether they are a novice or an experienced breeder.
Puppies For Dummies
By: Sarah Hodgson
You may remember months back Sarah did an interview for us on the Tribune and I still refer back to it when talking to prospective TT owners. She has terrific insight into this breed and who should and should not own a TT. Her book is filled with great training tips and wonderful information. A must-have for every new TT owner and a great book to include with puppy take-home packets.
Kennels and Kenneling: A Guide For Professionals and Hobbyists
By: Joel McMains
While I don’t kennel my TTs, I have a large kennel with eight indoor/outdoor runs, heat/air, a big attached grooming room & an attached 200 X 200 play yard. My four goldens are kenneled and I learned a lot from this book when we built our kennel.
I found a lot of useful information.
