Product Description
Since the nineteenth century, when the "hunting parson" Reverend Jack Russell first bred the terrier that bears his name, the bond between these dogs and the horses their owners ride has become one of the strongest in the world of sport. Widely popular as both working and companion animals, Jack Russell terriers can be found scampering around stables, dashing along riding trails, and at the rail at equestrian competitions of all varieties.With more than fifty color and black-and-white photographs of dogs and horses in action and in repose-to the extent that terrier perpetual-motion machines are ever in repose!-and accompanied by evocative literary quotations, Jack Russell Terriers and Their Friends focuses on the many facets of this remarkable canine-equine link. It is the perfect gift for anyone whose life is entwined with dogs, horses, and the combination of the two.

JRs are wonderfully depicted! by .. A. Bartek (Virginia)
No one can capture the spirit of a Jack Russell, in a photograph, like Marilyn Mackay-Smith. She pairs very appropriate (or humorous!) quotes with the amazing photos.
This is a wonderful book for any dog lover.
Jack Russell Terriers and Their Friends by .. Lesley Bowen (Lexington, KY)
For anybody who loves the Jack Russell and can appreciate their terrier personality. I live in a multiple terrier home so seeing these pictures were like looking at my own funny dogs. I have tried to line up terriers for Christmas photos, but not with the success of Mrs. Mackay-Smith. Favorites have to be the JRTs at the piano, on the back of a blanketed, tinseled horse, and asleep (!!!) beneath Christmas stockings filled with dog biscuits. Mrs. Mackay-Smith, how did you manage that?! Thank you for publishing this delightful little book whose subjects remind me of my own beloved terriers.
