Beverley, I am a bit involved with a group here trying to save our animal shelter. SOS Memphis – Save Our Shelter (www.sosmemphis.com) I am not in the trenches but I have done their web site. I am horrified the way humans treat these precious pets! Thank GOD for people like you!!!!!! Thanks, Pam Martello, De Caro Realty, Memphis, TN (16/8/11)
Customer reviews
Hi Bev,
Thank u for your invaluable help. On Tuesday we purchased what we think is going to turn out to be our ‘perfect dog’. Thanks to you we purchased a Borderdoodle (Border Terrier x Miniature Poodle). Both breeds we understand are perfect for 1st time owners and our little Bobby is proving the breeds right so far. He is an absolute little darling and much loved by us all, a very easy going and loving little boy. We are looking forward to many years of long daily walks and many many cuddles. Thank you again. Stephanie Robinson
Beverley,
You are AWESOME! I personally would have told them don’t let door hit you in the butt on the way out! I am so happy with my little rescue dog Muffin. As is my friend Carolynn with her little rescue dog Cookie. We call our little girls “Our Baked Goods”, “Our Pastry Pets”! We take them almost every where we go! Keep being the Awesome Person You Are doing the Awesome Work that You Do! I truly think that you and your four legged friends rescue people! Thank You for Being A Blessing! Debra Sego-Castaneda
Pure gold. Loving life with my terrier Stella – Dave Barrie, Johannesburg, South Africa
Thanks Bev, we saved $500 by going to a shelter for a Cavalier King Charles. With your advice we knew what breed we wanted but also that it had to be an adult. It really felt like you were in there with us. Dominic DaSouza, Nebraska, USA
Tremendous stuff, Bev, it really was everything you said. I leap out of bed with a smile on my face knowing Major’s waiting. It’s a bit of a challenge having a Rottweiler as a first dog but I’m challenging too, so we make a great pair! – Debbie Symonds, South Island, NZ
At last. After being told I’d never have a dog you’re my hero! Can’t wait to get started. Sue Stoker, California
Are you mad???? Most e-books I was ever stupid enough to buy didn’t live up to promises. At last one does. Can’t believe you’re giving so much value. Martin Pine, Tennessee
Amazing. Just Amazing. This brought home just how much I didn’t know. Thanks Bev, I’m so glad I found you before I made a horrible mess. Now I just have to decide between a standard Poodle and ginat Schnauzer. Carly Deeks, Cirencester, UK.
Five years ago, we decided that the time was right to adopt a dog, something we’d waited a great many years to do. After doing our research we were put in touch with dog fostering expert Beverly Nash, who was looking after a homeless three-year-old saluki/greyhound called Jasper.
Bev was able to telt us exactly what Jasper was like to live with and we made the long journey to meet him. We were thrilled to be allowed to take him home. Bev gave us extensive written notes on how to settle Jasper in and continue with his training. It was really reassuring to know that Bev was only at the end of the phone or e-mail.
Jasper turned out to be everytuing we were hoping for – and more. He’s an absolute perfect fit and an adored member of the family. He’s now 9 years old and still the centre of our world. Thanks Bev for the care and attention you showed to Jasper and the wealth of information you shared – Charlotte, Anthony and Jasper, Colchester, UK
Am so in love with Daisy my Pug, she is magic, my boyfriend is soooooo jealous 
– Danielle Masters, Ohio, USA
Merlin is everything I ever wanted. Didn’t expect to choose what I did, but it’s just how it went. I started with some bad ideas about ‘bloke’s dogs’ which would have been a disaster. I chose a Cocker Spaniel instead. He’s great – Steve Bailey, Languedoc, France (ex-London).
I’m stunned. Delighted but stunned that I can learn all this so quickly. I know so much it’s beginning to make me into a dog bore! Andy Novak, Missouri, USA.
I never knew so many non-shedding dogs existed! Suzanne P, Edinburgh, UK.
Beverley, I appreciate your information that you share with me. I have learned so many things from you. Thank You Very Much! Debra D, USA
My son Joe is allergic to dogs but we’ve been thinking about getting a Greyhound. My sister has a dog but they don’t take it for walks and I think that’s cruel. I want a dog that looks like a dog, you know, not a small fluffy thing. It’s great to know you can help us. N.F, High Wycombe, UK
Hi there, I just purchased the ebook on hypoallergenic dogs. I desperately want a dog, a coton de tulear, and my husband has asthma AND allergies. I’m hoping your book will give us a better test for a dog. He doesn’t want to buy one and waste 2-3 thousand dollars if we can’t keep it, and I agree, I’d hate to do that to a dog, but I feel that with regular bathing, and keeping the dog out of our bedroom, etc, we can have a dog. Thanks, Elizabeth Barney, USA
Hi Bev. We chose Wheatens (Irish Wheaten Terriers). We now have George and Alice. The dogs are superb with the kids but it’s like having a hyperactive small child in the house! Jon Brown, Derbyshire, UK
I got this small fat thing that didn’t look like a whippet. His previous owner didn’t walk him. After three weeks Ted’s settled so well I sometimes forget there’s a dog in the house – Mike Parsons, Cardiff, UK
I called my pekingese ‘Princess’ because what’s what she is to me. I can’t get out much but we play lots, and she loves just to sit on my lap and cuddle. My dogwalker does the rest - Mary Singleton, Cincinatti, USA.
Delighted with my Australian Shepherd, Maddie – Dan Bramwell, NSW, Australia
The kids are bowled over! They can’t believ we finally got a dog. They’re outside with Chocs our Lab every chance they get, playing ball and getting dirty. Much healthier than their Playstations – The Willet Family, Ontario
I thought this was too good to be true and nearly didn’t take up the offer. But wow does this over-deliver. Bev I do think you’ve gone a little crazy, but I’m glad. You’d be stupid to pass it up. I’m now into my shortlisting and enjoying every second! Sally Anthony, Nevada, USA
Hi Beverley, I wanted to drop you a line to let you know that after reading the wonderful book you have written and all the other materials you included, we decided on a Havanese!! We found a breeder and our little “Bailey” (Male) will be delivered to us in mid March! - Jen Pisterzi, New York
Expert reviews
Just found your site. Love it. You have such great information here. Keep up the great work! Jennifer G. PetRescueFund
Glad to make your aquaintance. Thanks for some good info in your on-line books. Am debating on best way to make use of it. Sharon Denison, Owner-All The Comforts of Home pet sitting and services, Los Angeles
Hi Bev, Thank you for the work you do! Most of my clients are with the animals they have already, wanting to know more about their past (if they were adopted); why they are exhibiting certain behaviors; what their favorite toy is; etc. However, if someone is looking to adopt a new doggie, which some clients are, I will let them know Love and Light, Sue. Sue Pike, Animal Communicator, Spirit Channeler, Reiki Master, New York City
I especially appreciated the “How to find a breeder”. So tired of seeing our customers buy from bad breeders or pet stores that we KNOW purchase their puppies from puppy mills or animal auctions – Grooming Business Owner, Ohio, USA
I adore your website. Great effort! Yorkshire Terrier Training
Hi Bev. Super meeting you at Discover Dogs and talking dogs non-stop. I see so many people who haven’t a clue. They don’t know what they’ve got or how to handle it. As for bad breeding!!!!! Had a labrador in a while back with the worst case of hip displaysia I’ve ever seen. Poor thing was in so much pain. What you’re doing is SO valuable. Tamara Cartwright, Dog Behaviour, Daycare and Boarding, London, UK
Hi Bev, I have been to your web site and I am impressed with your work. You are opening up the path to dog companionship to many people who thought their allergies were a permanent deterrent. I did not have time to look at all the breeds, but plan to do so – Carolyn Levant, Canine By Designs, NC
After purchasing this (grooming) business eight years ago, we adopted our second child. It wasn’t until he was two that he was diagnosed with pet allergies. Hence, we went on the rampage to learn everything we could on low allergen dogs! This is how we came to have our beautiful Cresteds. I love your site. You have a good thing going – Michelle Harvey, Marion, USA
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to work with you! It was a pleasure! This is wonderfully put together. Woo-hoo! You did a great job! I would love to promote this to the veterinarian’s that we work with as well as customers and other people who contact us. I would encourage you to continue. Thank you again – Michelle Harvey, Breeder of Chinese Crested Dogs, USA
A terrific resource — too many people think having a dog would be great, and jump into it without any knowledge of what they’re getting into. I had a Bouvier for years, so I’m familiar with the concept — Bouviers are not for everyone! – ‘Montana Lady’, USA
My introduction to Bev came as a direct result of her willingness to follow her own formula for finding the right dog. I was both impressed and reassured by the steps she had already taken to research both the breed and the lines before choosing her next Azawakh puppy.
As a breeder I dream of placing my dogs in the type of home Bev provides. The diligence Bev showed in deciding on her next companion not only took the terror out of shipping overseas but created a respect that made me willing to assist her in anyway I could.
I wish I could have started out with the information about choosing a pet that Bev has put together. It would have saved me many sleepless nights. There is always risk involved in choosing a companion animal, but those risks can be greatly reduced if you know what to look for and what to ask – Rhonda Mann, Kel Simoon Azawakhs, USA
We have customers bring their new puppy or dog to us and sometimes we would like to thump them. Often elderly ladies will think a larger dog would be better for them for company and protection. However, they physically can not handle them to even get them to the point of training. That’s why this resource is so useful – Dog Trainer, USA (Name withheld for commercial reasons)
Hi Bev. I am looking forward to seeing your project progress, and participating. I hope you have included a greyhound with the low allergy breeds! I have yet – over a three year period – to have a family who didn’t come back after a time and say the child did not have an allergic reaction to a greyhound. Many a thrilled parent has then gone on to further explore adoption of a greyhound. We routinely suggest that families with an animal allergy issue find out where there is a Meet and Greet scheduled in their area and test exposure with the dogs themselves. Susan A Allen, CVT (Certified Veterinary Technician), Foster Care Director, Friends of Retired Greyhounds (FORG), Colorado, http://www.friendsofretiredgreyhounds.org/
Hi Bev, my dog is an ex puppy mill breeder so I’m right behind you on stamping out puppy farms. Ruthie Bentley, Writer/Blogger, Canidae Pet Foods
People who wish they’d known me earlier
Our daughter bought a cockerpoo puppy (cocker spaniel and poodle cross). She was told it was ’safe’ for her allergy. It wasn’t. She had a really bad reaction to it. Wish we’d known you existed. Charles and Anne Hopkins, UK
We decided on a miniature Schnauzer. But she barks constantly. We’ve tried an anti-bark collar but it just makes her depressed. When she’s not in it, it drives us mad. Of course you already knew barking was the issue! I wish we’d known you before we chose her. Richard Sidi, Cumbria, UK
I have a friend who bought this dog – a bull terrier cross I think. in 6 months it basically wrecked his living room. He could have done with your help. Charlie Ritchie, Vancouver
I know where you’re coming from! We bought a dalmatian some years ago and it was a disaster. She would steal tins off the top of the work surface. We eventually got an Old English Sheepdog and he was so much better. He died a couple of years ago. Wishing you every success with your new business. Kate, Newcastle, UK.

It’s always a pleasure to hear from Bev. She obviously puts allot of work and passion into everything she does and is always friendly and approachable. I think she is as much of a workaholic as I am going by the time of day I’ve received emails from her and would recommend her new web site. Simon Cardwell, Claron Graphics, UK www.claron-graphics.co.uk
Wow, finally had a chance to look at your site. You’ve certainly been busy! Well done. I wish you every success with your business. You certainly deserve it. Melissa Fairhust, Certain Change (UK)
When it comes to dogs Bev is encyclopaedic and passionate. The depth and breadth of her knowledge can only come from true love. It has been my pleasure to work with her on her website and when I am ready to get a dog for my children I will look no further nor should anyone else. Ash Goodman, www.impowersites.com
Four years ago, I heard from a friend about the terrible plight of Greyhounds and the abuses that they suffer. I decided to do my bit to help them, and this was how I first met Bev, in her capacity as a rescue volunteer. Her passion for dogs shone through and was undeniable and irresistible. Before I knew it, and with the benefit of Bev’s knowledge, I’d adopted an ex-racer of my own.
Maybe Bev is even a dog in disguise. Certainly she’s never happier than when she’s with her ‘kids’. I’ve watched her gently tend to their wounds, coax them to eat, treat them when they’re sick and sleep with them when they need reassurance. Her passion is backed up by an encyclopaedic knowledge of their diet, habits, welfare and what kinds of dog fit what kinds of lifestyles. I’ve never known her unable to answer a dog question.
And finally, Blue has been a perfect choice for me. He successfully made the transition from keen race dog to professional settee tester! He’s an ambassador for greyhounds wherever he goes – Robin Sharman, UK
Bev brings a positive, enthusiastic attitude to life – I know she is mad about dogs! She told me she used to ‘rescue’ dogs that had sadly been treated badly. I think her writing style is fun, chatty but informative from other material she has written that I have read, so her books will be packed with information provided in a ‘pleasure to read’ way! – Adele Miller, Homeopath, UK
