REVIEWS "Standard Schnauzers are some of the most characterful creatures around and this book is an amazing insight into the breed - and what it takes to live side by side with these dogs who are as equally demanding as they are rewarding. "Got this book 2 years into my Schnauzer-owning journey and already found it to have some top tips I hadn't yet picked up. It's packed with loads of great info, health, training, grooming advice and some first-hand stories from owners (and some great pictures of the beautiful beards)," AMAZON CUSTOMER, UK "Wow! The Best Standard Schnauzer Handbook, more like the Standard Schnauzer bible! I don’t believe there’s anything else like it on the market. It lists absolutely everything you would possibly want to know about this breed. This book is a must-have for anyone interested in getting a Standard Schnauzer or even someone that already has this breed like myself for constant reference and interesting facts," ALEX, USA "This book is a great resource for someone who is new to the breed and looking for an unbiased opinion on what all is entailed in being a great dog owner. Being a groomer myself and a standard schnauzer owner, it’s nice to see resources that are helpful and full of correct information," LORI, CANADA "At last, our beloved Standards get the spotlight to themselves! Through her excellent research and drawing on the insights of experienced breeders and a range of Standard Schnauzer owners, Linda Whitwam has produced a fantastic book on (what she rightly calls) this "underrated" breed. The book will prove invaluable to anyone who already owns or is contemplating life with a Standard Schnauzer," IAIN C.
