I found this book to be way too brief. It shows no depth when it comes to the information of Dobermans, and it quickly leaves the Doberman idea behind and just states basic first aid medication that every book of this same brand has. I bought this at a pet store when purchasing toys for my own Doberman. There was obviously no real, genuine thought put into this book, and I myself, though unarticulate and not at all skilled in writing, could display more quality information instead of a brief overview of a Doberman. I personally would not have purchased this book if I had even skimmed through the pages.
If you know what a Doberman is skip this book. October 14, 2003

Because of the outrageous profit margin, this is another "make a quick buck" dog book that has saturated the shelves of our innocent pet stores everywhere. The text reads as if it were cut and pasted from a sixties encyclopedia entry, with "your Doberman" inserted instead of "your dog". There isn't ANY uniqueness, ingenuity, nor insight between the covers of this book; Inane prattle, serving only to reinforce the ego and purse of the "published" author, not the education of the starved masses.Actual quote:
"Exactly how much of a dog's behavior is inherited and how much is learned is a debate that remains unsettled, except to say that both avenues of exchange seem very much involved" (Gudas 62)
What does this actually say? Nothing! This review refers to the first version
If you know you want a Doberman, skip this book October 29, 2002

Rather small, it barely skims the surface of what an owner needs to know: is a dobe the right dog for you, food, bedding, accessories, temperament. You won't get much else out of it. If someone's on the fence about whether or not to get a doberman, this book MIGHT be worth buying.
Informative for the potential owner December 13, 2000

I found the information presented was good and well thought out. I think this book is more applicable to the potential owner then the current owner, because of the training methods supported in the book. this may be due to when the book was written, but does not jive with most of the current literature that I have been reading.
 Very informative June 3, 1999

I felt this book was very informative. It gave me informative insight toward the purchase and care of a doberman.
