BARKING MAD! THE ADVENTURES OF A TOP DOG BREEDER by Janet Edmonds

Illustrations by Julie Williams

Top dog breeder Janet Edmonds has lived with dogs all her life. This entertaining book is a down-to-earth and amusing account of her life, her dogs, and the 'doggy' and no-so-'doggy' people she has had the fortune - and sometimes misfortune - to meet.

All Janet Edmonds dogs have been great characters. They include Aninrak, an Alaskan Malamute who was in fact meant to be a bloodhound, Digger the dingo, a confirmed escapologist, and Oske, an old dog who taught himself new tricks. Just as memorable, but for different reasons, are the many people her dogs have brought her into contact with over the years.

From showing her prize-winning dogs at Crufts, to appearing on television with Aninrak, and rescuing dogs from unhappy and unsuitable homes, Janet Edmonds has funny and heart-warming tales to tell, making 'Barking Mad!' a book for animal lovers everywhere.

Janet Edmonds is a highly successful dog breeder. She is a recognised expert on Alaskan Malamutes and German Spitz which she judges and shows both here and abroad, including the world-famous Crufts.
