5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!, March 20, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: American Eskimo Dogs: Everything about Purchase, Care, Nutrition, Breeding, Behavior, and Training (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book for people who know nothing of the breed and wish to learn, or for those who know the breed deeply, and just want to read about it. I own an Eskie, and it described him perfectly! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book.

This review is from: American Eskimo Dogs: Everything about Purchase, Care, Nutrition, Breeding, Behavior, and Training (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
In one of the previous reviews, it said this book doesn't cover teething and such. But it does! It covers teething, digging, housebreaking, training, breeding and much more! What you need before the purchase and how to pick a show dog! I highly suggest this book if you plan on, or already have, an American Eskimo Dog.

This review is from: American Eskimo Dogs: Everything about Purchase, Care, Nutrition, Breeding, Behavior, and Training (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
If you have an American Eskimo, if you're thinking about getting one, buy this book! The text is understandable and written by someone who must know Eskies!!!

Since getting my little guy, I've learned a lot and most of it came from this book!!!
