Shaz, here's a link to the Our Dogs site which lists some good books on junior handling
http://www.ourdogs.co.uk/acatalog/Main_Menu_Showing___Judging_54.html

and although this book is for judging, it does show not only the points of the dog but skeletal and muscular structure as well
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1852790253/qid=1140557180/sr=1-14/ref=sr_1_0_14/026-3482631-2650027

hope this helps
Michele

I have a book which is great and i have learnt alot of things.
Has lots of pictures in so people can understand it better
It is called "Good Judgement" by Peggy Grayson i got mine from pets at home but you could also go to our dogs stand and ask them not sure if you are going tho.
Very good book and i would reccommend it to those who want to go into judging but is still good for those who just want to learn about the bones too  :blink:

Shaz have a look at http://www.juniorhandling.co.uk. I'm sure Becki would recommend  Marina's book - she really knows her stuff ;)!
Marina is also a columnist in our dogs (for juniors) and Averil writes for dog world. Both can be found near the front of the dog papers and both offer junior news, tips and lots more - so they might be worth a read ;).
