This is one of the warmest, friendliest books ever written about a dog. It's a bout a real dog, Nornay Saddler, the smooth-haired fox terrier who won fifty nine Best In Show awards - more than any dog in history! but what's really exciting isn't the formal business of Saddler's show career. It's the story of his life from puppyhood (he almost didn't get beyond puppyhood!) that will rivet your interest. You'd never believe that so many strange and fascinating things could happen to a pup and to the people whose lives crossed his.
Don Reynolds couldn't resist putting together the Saddler story so that everyone who loves dogs might read and enjoy it. Every bit of it is true, so that while you follow Saddler's adventures you'll find yourself moving in the authentic world of dog shows, great kennels and the people whose names crop up on the sports pages. There is much, too, about how prize-winning dogs are bred, raised, selected and handled.
But Saddler's touching story, with its colorful background, isn't all that Don Reynolds has included in this book. There are pictures. Dozens of them. Puppy pictures, action pictures, pictures with the youngsters and grownups who played so large a part in Saddler's life. They help make Champion of Champions a book to win the hearts of everyone.
