 wonderful commentary from actual breeder/handlers August 9, 1998
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
this book was very knowledgable from people who actually work with the breed. i would like to have seen more of a conformation slant (rather than obedience or schutzhund perspective) and i was disappointed in the lack of color pictures . but overall i found a great deal of usefull information contained within.
 A must have for German Shepherd fanciers August 6, 1998

I have learned more about all aspects of German Shepherd Dogs from this book than from any other. Anyone wanting to know about this marvelous breed would not be disappointed in the least at buying this book. Whether you own a pet or a champion, this book is filled with facts, training tips, and wonderful photographs of both American-bred and German-bred champions. Winifred Stickland and James Moses have done a great justice to the breed with this book. It is well written and an easy read for both the novice and the expert shepherd owner. The photographs are good, yet I agree with the other review that the thing that would make this book one step better would be to use color photo's instead of black and white where possible. A highly recommended book--you can't go wrong with this one.
This book is Best Of Breed book on the German Shepherd Dog. July 23, 1998
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
This book doesn't just cover everything about the German Shepherd Dog that you need to know, it covers it thoroughly and intelligently. In it's THIRD edition it includes all the most current champions here and in Germany. It is as important to the new GSD owner wondering how to raise his new puppy as to the seasoned breeder for research. It even covers training and Winifred Strickland's dog training techniques are classic and will never be 'dated'. Her dogs were ObedienceTrial CHampions in the forties and they are Obedience Trial CHampions today. You cannot do better than to take her advice.It is a mystery why the publisher hasn't put in color photos when other useless 'fluff' books get color photos to sell them to the public. This fine book should be in color. But it is way ahead of all the rest and it is lavishly illustrated with black and white photographs. It is the best out there.

I have watched Mrs Strickland show her dogs a number of times in obedience. She has to be the greatest obedience trainer ever. The book explains her method very thoroughly.
