Very informative for the new Maltese owner.. by Sunday Caradine
I have found this book to be very informative for the new Maltese owner. I would recommend this book again.
I found this helpful by Junior Asparagus
Vicki Abbott, having handled the top winning Maltese of all time and having over 30 years of experience in the breed, is the perfect expert on this breed and we are glad that she is finally sharing her experience with the public. This book provides a unique perspective on the breed, and will be very helpful to those just buying a puppy as a new addition to their family, to those who have bred,handled, and raised Maltese for years. I would highly recommend this book, it is easy to read and could even be read with your children when learning how to take care of your new Maltese puppy. Do not miss out on this book, it is the best Maltese book on the market, and I should know as I am a career librarian.
Thank you!
I Took This Back! by
This book was an “impulse buy” from Borders Books and Music. When I got it home and read it, I was so disappointed that I returned it-something I rarely do. For lighter reading, The Essential Maltese by Howell Book House is much more informative; for the more serious fancier, The Complete Maltese by Nicholas Cutillo is a must-have. Don’t waste your time and money on this book!
Thoroughly Enjoyed This Book by
I have grown up with maltese all of my life. This book is very informative, and a great reference to have. Mrs. Abbott obviously spent a great deal of care and time writing this book. Truly a compliment to the breed! This book is on my coffee table!
