 Read the rest but buy this one! April 23, 2001

This is an excellent book recommended to me by my dogs breeder. I have read just about all of the GSD books written in the English language (available in my country) and this one is the most complete. She is good at discussing the differences between the German lines and American lines in such a way to be very non biased! Amazing... did not think it could be done. It walks you through the basics right through the more complex aspects of the German Shepherd world. Good stuff! Not just a must read but a must own!!

The German Shepherd Today copyrighr 1974.I raised and trained a wonderful, intelligent, obedient,GS by the name of Major and this book guided me through two rigid years of training for a dog that turned out to be everything that you would want in a pet. From a puppy to an adult the book takes you step by step in raising a very large dog and guiding him to be well manered and obediant. This well written book is right on target in giving the proper guidence.

As a first-time GSD owner, this was the second book I purchased and read about the breed. While much of the information was useful, I was also left with many questions.I disagree with the harsh training methods outlined in this book. Not only did my puppy not learn from them, but they left her with issues that needed to be resolved before she could learn anything else effectively. Also, the health section left a bit to be desired. All of the information that I considered to be helpful has been found in many other publications. As an all-encompassing book it's okay, but I'd just as soon get my money back and spend it on two or three other books -- I'd get more useful information that way.
 A must have book for every German Shepherd Fancier! July 21, 2000

Strickland and Moses did it again. There first book was excelent and the second is too. The most important aspect of this book is the rasing and care of the GSD and the history of the GSD. The structural drawings are supper along with all of the photos. This book shows what a GSD and what has been done in the past. The history of the German and American lines and their differences are helpful too. I would recomend this book to anybody who owns a GSD or is thinking of owning a GSD.
Good Job Ms Strickland March 8, 2000

I am an avid fan of the German Shepherd dog and have a small library of books on the breed. This book holds a place of honor at the top of the stack as one of the most complete breed books I have found. It appears to be an honest appraisal and history of the breed, but with the obvious prejudice of an owner. Her love of her dogs shines through in amost every page. That can easily be fogive. The comparison of the German and American lines is particularly helpful. Ms Strickland's knowledge of the breed and many years of experience are well known and add to the credibility of her work. Good job, we look forward to the next update.
