The Complete Entlebucher Mountain Dog Book: Entlebucher Sennenhund

This book provides a complete insight into the Entlebucher Mountain Dog. Whether you are looking to add an Entlebucher to your family, get the best out of your relationship with a dog you already own or are interested in the story of the breed itself and its development in the UK, this is the book for you.

Illustrated with numerous colour photographs, The Complete Entlebucher Mountain Dog Book will charm, educate and delight everyone who has a soft spot in their hearts for dogs of this or any breed.

This authoritative guide will help you to understand how to train your Entlebucher before he trains you and how to get the best out of your relationship with this wonderful breed.

Brought to you by UK recognised breed expert, Rosemary J Kind, the book covers everything from puppy's first night in his new home, to the reasons Entlebuchers jump and how to manage that. Written in an accessible style that makes it easy for any owner or prospective owner to understand, you will find information on health conditions, socialising your dog, how to deal with common issues and much more.

Rosemary J. Kind adores her four Entlebuchers and they adore her. As the driving force in the development of the breed in the UK, she has a wealth of experience of what it means to share one's life with Entlebuchers. She has not only bred almost a quarter of the UK Entlebucher population, but arranged the import of a similar number from good breeders around Europe. Her passion and commitment has inspired Rosemary to explain her love of the Entlebucher breed in these pages.

This is the first book specifically about the breed in English and includes:

• Owning an Entlebucher through every stage of life
• Training
• Exercise
• Socialisation
• Common issues such as herding, jumping and wariness of strangers
• Dog sports
• Opportunities to work
• Breeding - from health testing to bringing up puppies for any novice breeder
• Health information
• History and purpose of the breed
• Showing your dog
• Clubs around the world
• Breed standard
• Developing a Breed

The experience that Rosemary J. Kind has gained from the dogs themselves, as Chairman of the UK breed club, trainer of judges in the UK and breed note writer for the dog press is brought together in The Complete Entlebucher Mountain Dog Book. Of course, you might enjoy the 160 colour pictures too

About the Author
Kind, Rosemary J.: - Rosemary J Kind writes because she has to. You could take almost anything away from her except her pen and paper. Failing to stop after the book that everyone has in them, she has gone on to publish books in both non-fiction and fiction, the latter including novels, humour, short stories and poetry. She also regularly produces magazine articles in a number of areas and writes regularly for the dog press. As a child she was desolate when at the age of 10 her then teacher would not believe that her poem based on 'Stig of the Dump' was her own work and she stopped writing poetry for several years as a result. She was persuaded to continue by the invitation to earn a little extra pocket money by 'assisting' others to produce the required poems for English homework! Always one to spot an opportunity, she started school newspapers and went on to begin providing paid copy to her local newspaper at the age of 16. For twenty years she followed a traditional business career, before seeing the error of her ways and leaving it all behind to pursue her writing full-time. She spends her life discussing her plots with the characters in her head and her faithful dogs, who always put the opposing arguments when there are choices to be made. Always willing to take on challenges that sensible people regard as impossible, she set up the short story download site Alfie Dog Fiction in 2012 and has built it to being one of the largest in the world, representing over 300 authors and carrying over 1600 short stories. Her hobby is developing the Entlebucher Mountain Dog in the UK and when she brought her beloved Alfie back from Belgium he was only the tenth in the country. She started writing Alfie's Diary as an Internet blog the day Alfie arrived to live with her, intending to continue for a year or two. Eleven years later it goes from strength to strength and has been repeatedly named as one of the top ten dog blogs in the UK.
