WHICH BREED IS YOUR BEST IN SHOW?  National dog magazine editor Allison Weiss Entrekin shares the pooches that are perfect for all dog lovers.

 

Entrekin, editor of Doggie Aficionado, is now the author of For the Love of Dogs: An A-to-Z Primer for Dog Lovers of All Ages, a brand-new book for pooch parents! Expressing the passion we feel for our pets, the book uses all 26 letters of the alphabet accompanied by rhymes, colorful illustrations and informative text. The result is a tribute to dogs that can be enjoyed by readers of all ages. There's even a personal foreword from It's Me or the Dog's Victoria Stilwell!

 

Sadie, the plucky Scottish Terrier who won last year's Westminster Dog Show, may be the perfect pooch for carpeted catwalks-but she's all wrong for families with manicured lawns. That's because Scotties are diggers, and telling them not to tear up rose bushes is like telling a Mastiff not to drool.

 

As millions tune in to watch this year's Westminster Dog Show Feb. 14 and 15, they'll want to know what all those gorgeous breeds are really like when the cameras aren't rolling. In addition to Scotties' penchant for digging, they might be surprised to know that:

 

• English Foxhounds make terrible apartment dwellers. This breed loves to run...and run...and run!
• Portuguese Water Dogs are great for families who have pet-related allergies, as their coats are hypoallergenic. This is why the Obama family chose their Portuguese Water Dog, Bo.
• If you already have a dog, Labradors are a great choice for a new addition to your family. They are notoriously gentle with both animals and people. No wonder they've been the most popular breed in the country for 19 years running!

 

As editor of Doggie Aficionado magazine, a national glossy for luxury-minded pet parents, as well as the author of For the Love of Dogs: An A-to-Z Primer for Dog Lovers of All Ages, national dog expert Allison Weiss Entrekin is available for interviews telling your readers and listeners how they can choose their very own "Best in Show" breed.

 

From barking Beagles to dashing Dachshunds, many of our favorite breeds are featured on the colorful pages of Entrekin's new book. And because I is for "Instincts" and O is for "Obedience," readers will learn about some of the traits that make dogs such fascinating friends.
