Alpine Publications bold new venture!

Although this company has been around for many years, this is the first time we have ventured into the world of the internet other than our website at www.alpinepub.com.

We are excited to bring you into our world of publishing. This year we will be publishing a number of books on dogs and horses. There are a few revisions that we will be bringing in, namely our Japanese Chin book, written by Elizabeth Legl, with plans of our Shetland Sheepdog bible, Sheltie Talk, being revised, as well as our Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever book. The Japanese Chin is slated to come out late spring, early summer. We will keep you posted on the others as they become available.

The book that I am really looking forward to is Agility: Start to Finish, written by Diane Bauman with Jessica Ajoux. Bauman is a well-known trainer based out of New Jersey who has over 30 years of experience in training dogs. She was the first to place a MACH on an Afghan Hound, which to me is amazing, as being a sight hound, Afghans are not noted for having the temperament one usually sees in agility competition. We are planning on having this book available, hot off the press, mid-April. Think my 12 year old Aussie can handle it?
