Yesterday I posted a book review, so I thought I'd list a few of the books I own now, and give a semi review of each.

These are all books that I own and are in my personal library.  Now books cost a lot of money when buying new, and everyone knows I am the queen of thrift.  So here a link to a cool site that offers books for free, you might have to wait a while for the book to become available, but hey when trying to save a buck you do what you got to do. I do get the majority of my books through this site, but every once in a while a new book comes out that I just cannot wait for and I will buy it new.

Thrift Books

So on to the list. 

1. The Intelligence of Dogs- Stanley Coren: released 1994

"Everyone thinks that their own dog is brilliant.  Coren has written an intriguing study that will help dog owners to gauge realistically their own dog's intelligence." Kirkus Reviews

My personal opinion.  Its a good book, semi hard to read, unless your really into dogs.  It offers various tests to test the IQ of your dog, and for that alone it is worth the read.

2. Canine Terminology- Harold R. Spira -Released 2001

This is an invaluable reference book for anyone involved in the sports of any dog at any level. Think of it as the Grey's anatomy for dogs.

3.  Lend Me an Ear; Martha Hoffman- Released 2013.  This comes from Dogwise Publishing, and is a speciality book.  It is geared toward training the hearing dog, for deaf people.  I am a deaf person.

It explains in detail how to choose a hearing dog, which also leads itself into choosing a service dog prospect of any kind.  It also explains some of the training methods to train your dog to be a hearing service dog.

I give it 5 stars.

More reviews to come later.
