Reviews

All terrier enthusiasts will enjoy this video. I particularly value the pictures showing how each breed has developed, and changed, over the years. A tremendous amount of dedicated research, time and energy has turned a brilliant idea into a valuable and enjoyable way of understanding this complex group of breeds.

Customer Comments

• Impressive. Unputdownable. And so inventive. The research and knowledge that have gone into the whole makes it instructive and very interesting. And we did also so ENJOY watching your work too, for all the marvellous pictures and the way you used them. The merging of pictures to show the changes over the years was so effective.

• The video is fantastic. Anyone who loves terriers (or dogs) would love this video. I especially enjoyed watching the dogs change from the early to modern version. There is nowhere else I know of where one can see that.

• EXCELLENT video ... Congratulations. The development stages of the breeds is a very good example of how the genetic makeup of a dog can be varied and changed over the years.

• What a load of work, research and more is in this video. It helps a lot to understand the various terriers and the history behind them.
  Ursula Ryf, Langnau, Switzerland
• Terriers Then and Now is just the best thing ever. If in Terriers you can not be without this tape - it is a must to own.
  Pat de Coning, Johannesburg, South Africa
• I was amazed at just how fantastic it is!  It should be required viewing for all terrier aspiring judges.
  Linda Johnson, Cranbourne Vic, Australia
• I particularly like the activities you show the terriers doing - these dogs are too often dismissed as stupid, stubborn and untrainable and the DVD shows that terriers are capable of anything, so long as they are trained by people who are as smart, tenacious and fearless as they are!
  Dawn Antoniak-Mitchell Esq. AKC Obedience Judge, Ohama, NE USA
• Your video is very lovely.
  Mrs Paulinova, Klanovice, Prague, Czech Republic
• The terrier tape is great. It looks like something that should be on Animal Planet (only better).  My favourite parts were the sequence of pictures that showed each breed's historical development.  I thoroughly enjoyed being educated.

• I thought I'll just sit down with a cuppa tea and watch the terriers for 20 minutes and then finish watching it another day..... what a joke, I got so wrapped up in it that I couldn't put it away. . . . Thank you for putting it together, it is both educational and enjoyable.

• It is truly a magnificent work in every sense: authoritative, comprehensive, attractively and coherently produced, and very artistic in conveying so much valuable information. It is obviously a labor of love, requiring enormous amounts of drudgery as well as creativity.
