    Book SynopsisThe German Shepherd is the most famous dog breed in the world, renowned for its loyalty, devotion and adaptability. As a working dog, the German Shepherd has distinguished itself with its even temperament and suitability for a wide range of tasks, especially in police and military work. Resi Gerritsen and Ruud Haak take fans of the German Shepherd on a fascinating journey through the breed's history and development, from its origins in the 19th century to its spread around the world as one of the top working dog breeds. They also examine the reasons for the breed's recent decline in popularity as a working dog, with many police agencies now using other breeds. Anyone who owns or works with German Shepherds and wants to improve their knowledge of this incredible breed should read this book.

    Te Papa Press Dogs in Early New Zealand Photographs

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisAdorable and sometimes surprising historic images of New Zealand dogs and their owners. This entertaining selection of over 100 photos of New Zealand dogs reveals some of the more curious ways in which they have appeared in photographic collections from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Dogs named Terror, Betsey Jane, Floss and Erebus appear alongside canines whose names are no longer known. The photos range from carefully staged studio portraits to New Zealand landscapes. This book also shines a light on some significant dogs, from Scott of the Antarctic's favourite sled dog to the talented mascot of the New Zealand Army rugby team. The photographs take the reader across the towns and landscapes of Aotearoa New Zealand, and the text profiles many of the photographers and studios that flourished prior to the First World War. It also pays tribute to the museums and galleries that now care for these delightful collections.Trade Review"Barking mad, it has to be said. That an institution as august as Te Papa can devote time and funds to assembling a miscellany of canine portraits from colonial times is testament to the museum’s easily overlooked sense of fun. This is a completely unnecessary book, and all the more enjoyable for that. As well as the portraits, a portion of the pooches earn mini-biographies, such as Erebus, the matchmaking Samoyed who was born in the Antarctic on Shackleton’s South Pole expedition. Party member Ernest Joyce presented Erebus to one Beatrice Curlett of Christchurch. Romance ensued." - Paul Little, North & South, March 2022.

Why else do we lavish them with yummy treats and belly scratches? There's something about a wagging tail and a soulful stare that's just too hard to resist. Text in English, German and French.

    Book SynopsisBy spending a year alongside rising star Jack, a champion Australian Shepherd, and his friends, this book explores the history of breeding and of dog shows, and all the many related peculiarities: judging, training, naming, promoting, hair styling, kennel owning, RV driving, hotel finding, treat selecting, and more.Trade Review"A wonderful, charming look at the sport of dogs and dog shows and an absolute must read for anyone looking to get involved." -- Pat Hastings, AKC Judge and author of Tricks of the Trade "A hilarious chronicle of blow-dried poodles, diva trainers and egregious canine puns. Above all, though, this is an irresistible story about the wondrous bond between humans and animals." -- Mark Adams, author of Turn Right at Machu Picchu "Filled with heart and humor, bringing to life extravagant characters, pampered pooches, and over-the-top humans without falling prey to tired stereotypes. That's because it's not really about animal beauty pageants; it's about the unyielding bond between people and dogs and what they'll do to make each other happy." -- Jim Gorant, author of The Lost Dogs "As I was sucked into the story of Jack the show dog, I began to understand the subtleties of the sport, the amazing talents of these animals, and the affecting human-and canine- drama behind the show." -- John Hodgman, author of That is All "Fascinating and funny...as I was sucked into the story of Jack the show dog, I began to understand the subtleties of the sport, the amazing talents of these animals, and the affecting human-and canine-drama behind the show." -- John Hodgman, author of That is All "A well-written, entertaining and accurate look at our great sport of dog shows ... Dean makes you feel like you are right there with a brush or a show lead in your handa ... a great accessory for anyone who wants to know more." -- David Frei, Voice of The Westminster Kennel Club and The National Dog Show and author of Angel On A Leash "Terrific" -- Colin McEnroe, WNPR "Superb" -- Michael Solomon, The Guardian "Excellent" -- Benoit Denizet-Lewis, Cesar Milan blog "If you don't know your toy group from your terriers, pick up this beguiling nonfiction account that follows Jack, a lovable, handsome Australian shepherd and an aspiring Best in Show." -- Entertainment Weekly "Show Dog is the real thing with focus, frustration, commitment, passion, ambition and a bit of celebration at times. In the process, it is remarkably informative while delivering vivid, priceless, behind-the-scenes snapshots and a few bizarre characters from small-town America to Manhattan." -- Ranny Green, Seattle Kennel Club "Fascinating and often very funny." -- Star magazine "Eccentric and really fascinating, sometimes treacherous, behind-the-grooming-stand look at the show circuit." -- Virginia Prescott, New Hampshire Public Radio "The literary answer to that laugh-out-loud movie Best in Show." -- Craig Wilson, USA Today "A spellbinding diary written by an outsider looking in, and it's filled with intriguing observations and lessons learned. It's also quite poignant at times. Think of the movie Best in Show and then dial it back just a hair." -- David Baker, Pet Adviser "Amazing, absolutely amazing. No matter how much you think you know about dog shows, this is the real deal. It's not just the whole history, so beautifully interwoven - [Dean has] really delved in and shown this world from every possible angle, and remarkably uncritically." -- Tracie Hotchner, DogTalk Radio "Show Dog added greatly to my already over-the-top love for the subject. Josh has written an absorbing, intimate and good-natured journey into the making of a champion. If you're like me, you'll come for the dogs, but you'll stay for the people." -- Mary Carillo, sportscaster, co-host 2012 Westminster Show "With Dean, curiosity reigns, making it possible to enter this subculture without the fanaticism of a disciple or the condescension of a cynic. He delivers an earnest, wry, and humorous look into what possesses people to spend nearly all their free time and money [showing dogs]." -- Wendy Toth, Petside.com "A tale that represents the world of show dogs fairly and factually in a fashion that people outside our cloistered community will understand and appreciate. It may even persuade a few to join us." -- Billy Wheeler, Best in Show Daily

    Book SynopsisAt the age of 36, Caroline Knapp, author of the acclaimed bestseller Drinking:A Love Story, found herself confronted with a monumental task: redefining her world.  She had faced the loss of both her parents, given up a twenty-year relationship with alcohol, and, as she writes, 'I was wandering around in a haze of uncertainty, blinking up at the biggest questions: Who am I without parents and without alcohol? How to form attachments, and where to find comfort, in the face of such daunting vulnerability?'  An answer materialized in the most unlikely form: that of a dog.  Eighteen months to the day after she quit drinking, Knapp stumbled upon an eight-week-old puppy at a local animal shelter, took her home, and named her Lucille.  Now two years old, Lucille has become a central force in Knapp's life: 'In her,' she writes,  'I have found solace, joy, a bridge to the world.'Caroline Knapp has been celebrated as much for her fr

    Book SynopsisFrom the New York Times bestselling author—and his dog—more woofs of wisdom In his first book, John O'Hurley wrote of the many life lessons he'd learned from dogs' lessons that carried him from the New England woods of his childhood to his life today as an award-winning actor, composer, and writer amidst the bright lights of Hollywood. Now, in Before Your Dog Can Eat Your Homework, First You Have to Do It, John once again finds himself seeking the wisdom of a canine companion. After years of parenting pets, last December, he became a father to his first child, William. Along with the many new joys of being a dad, John faced a new set of challenges' and it was Scoshi, his wizened white Maltese and faithful confidant for nearly two decades, who, at every turn, pointed the way. At once poignant, profound, and laugh-out-loud funny, this book is a one-of-a-kind celebration of the joys of parenting pets and children alike, and further testamen
