 This is a great book for beginners or experienced breeders October 2, 1999

An outstanding reference for owners or prospective german shepherd owners. Sits on our coffee table, when we aren't reading it
THE one-and-only GSD book September 14, 1999
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
If you ever wanted to buy one book for learning about GSD's, THIS is it. This book teaches you everything you want to know. Those who want to go further into breeding GSD's would also find this book very informative. My GSD's were growing like Sausage dogs and I went against my stupid vet's nutritional advice and followed the nutritional advice in this book. My GSD's are now about the best built dogs in the neighbourhood...what true GSD's should look like. The Authors should write more books like this. A MUST BUY book!
 No, no no. July 14, 1999

Although the section on training is useful and well written, this book pushes the genetics of the gsd in the wrong direction - towards angulation of the lower back and legs to promote the American show style... a direction that sends the breed spiralling downward towards dysplasia and arthritis... just to enhance a certain trotting style at shows. I recommend the website realgsd.net for some other book recommendations and articles that discuss this and other important issues regarding the gsd.
A great German Shepherd Book April 15, 1999

This is one of the best, if not the best and most complete German Shepherd book out there. It's great for the new puppy owner to the experienced breeder like my self. It's packed with German and American bloodlines. ROM list with pictures, German Siegers, Grand Victors, German terminology, and German names for your new puppy.
 This is *the* book to learn about German Shepherds! October 27, 1998

With its information on the earliest history of the breed to the famous German Shepherds today, this is *the* book to add to your library! It contains a wealth of information and beautiful pictures of famous German Shepherds both in Germany and abroad. I can find only two downsides to this book. First, the section on selecting a puppy, though informative, is more geared to the potential breeder than to the pet owner. Second, I wish that the section on Schutzhund trials would have included a description of the tests that the dogs must pass. Overall, I highly recommend this book. If you want to purchase only one book on the breed, you can't go wrong with this one. Clearly, it was written by people who absolutely love and respect the breed.
