  Devised by Dr. Frantisek Horak, a top-ranked geneticist from the Czech Republic, the Cesky Terrier is one dog world's best kept secrets and one of the few terrier breeds that did not derive from the British Islands. This modern creation is a rare combination of beauty and ability, a "small, slim and elegant" terrier that is a true go-to-ground working dog. Originally devised from crosses of the Scottish and Sealyham Terriers, today's Cesky Terrier is a purebred dog through and through, recognized by the American Kennel Club and all of the world's major registries.
  
  
  The author, Katherine Eckstrom is the heiress apparent of Dr. Horak, having cooperated with the famous geneticist before his death and continuing to breed his dream dogs from his original line of Czech dogs. Mrs. Eckstrom is the world authority of the Cesky Terrier, an American breeder who is highly respected in the Czech Republic and around the world. This offers a comprehensive history of the Cesky Terrier, from the creation of the breed in Europe to its rise in today's world of purebred dogs. In discussing the breed's characteristics, the author presents an interview with Dr. Horak, thus providing the most authoritative account of the breed's desirable physical traits and personality and an explanation of the breed standard

  Dog behavior and dog obedience are two vastly different aspects of a dog. This is not another dog book on how to get your dog to sit with a treat. Everything about dog behavior and training takes time. A well-mannered and obedient dog requires owners to put in the consistent repetition of practicing clear structured communication and actively engaging with their dogs daily. As a dog owner it is your responsibility to also become your dogs full-time trainer because training never stops; it is an all-day, everyday, all situations, on-going kind of concept. In short, it is a lifestyle. From a new puppy, adopted rescue, or old timer learning new manners, Shoni guides readers through the trivial but monumental Top 11 Insights to The Best Human and Dog Relationship. Includes easy to understand step-by-step daily practices that top dog handlers and trainers around the world implement daily. Over the years Shoni has given her clients the knowledge of these Top 11 Insights during consultations, and so long as her clients put in the work, followed through, and practiced daily they saw immediate results in their dogs behaviors BEFORE even starting their first training session. This is NOT at all a fix-all book of insights to magically cure your dogs unwanted behaviors. These are proven daily practices of fundamental communication basics for balanced, well-mannered, and obedient dog. Behaviors such as leash reactivity, jumping, nipping, destroying the home, and even resource guarding diminished significantly and in some cases eliminated by changing daily communication within the home through these Top 11 Insights. Shoni equips her readers with the knowledge and communication techniques they need to become their dogs' greatest joy. Also building confidence in dog owners as they learn to train effectively with their dogs while instilling trust and respect on both sides of the relationship. It all starts here with the basics. Let's go!

  The Turpentine Tree

  Lynne Hjelmgaard

  The Turpentine Tree is an enduring symbol of memory, fragile but enduring the passage of time and still persisting: in the title poem, Lynne Hjelmgaard describes it 'a coppery faux god / with wildly twisted branches'. It might slip into the void, but here it is for now 'flying into the eye of the storm.' Hjelmgaard employs strong, sensuous imagery to capture moments from across her remarkable life.
  These are portraits of family, friends and relationships – of Hjelmgaard's uprooted life, including a life at sea, the subsequent displacement, widowhood and search for connections. Often the remembrances in poems are sweet-bitter, recalling friends and lovers lost, including the writer's late partner Dannie Abse. These explorations of loss are extremely moving, but the poems also communicate the value of a rich bank of memories which range around from spectating on a girl being punished at camp ('Summer Camp'), a Florida roadtrip with friends ('1969'), or an 'Evening Flight from Copenhagen.' Very often the speakers are in transit, travelling through, and so the poems hold onto intense, lucid or epiphanic moments.
  There's an honesty, easiness and at times humour about the language. Vulnerability and strength walk side by side to give an extraordinary depth of experience for the reader. There's a visitation from her dead lover; her husband's spirit is safe in her wardrobe in a plastic bag; her father's ghost is on a WWII battleship in Norfolk Harbour and later waits for her in a crowd of strangers at Miami airport.
  These snapshots are sometimes based on real photographs, or at other times are imaginary photographs; Hjelmgaard questions 'Did we really exist? Yes – / the photograph answers' ('The Photograph Answers'). Threaded throughout all these memories is the gorgeous vividness of nature – the sea, animals, and creatures – which take speakers out of human concerns to a more connected relation with the world. The Turpentine Tree is about intangible presences which open up memory and move beyond it, towards a universal interconnectedness.
  How far back does grief go? What is lost, what can be found? Is memory transferred between us without words, years later, is the unsayable felt? 
  (from 'On the Atlantic Coast of Spain')
  'Lynne Hjelmgaard is truthful yet unrepentant. An American poet, determined to be alive.' - Robert Minhinnick, author of Diary of the Last Man
  'These poems keep a distinctive balance between distance and closeness – a  wide span across decades, between continents, hand in hand with crisp small moments that encapsulate a life. Closeness, too, in the intimacies at the heart of this collection, held with a lucid sensitivity that's never sentimental, staying true to individual relationships while melting into universal themes of love, loss, letting go and celebration.' -   Philip Gross, author of The Thirteenth Angel
  'Who is this person from so many places? Lynne Hjelmgaard grew up in Stuyvesant Town NYC, lived in Denmark, in Paris, in England, in the Caribbean -- did she really sail on a boat? What is she telling us? Everything she carries within, at any time. A unique, unusual life reflected on in poems of intimate address to the reader/companion. Delicate, beautiful, detailed from an amazing memory. Childhood, womanhood, children, aging, loves, mixed as everything is in the one body/mind. Tender and magical.' - Alice Notley, author of For the Ride
