The Boxer has long been one of America's best-loved dog breeds, and this newest book is a true celebration of Boxers and why so many dog lovers have been, and continue to be, attracted to them.
From the Inside Flap
There is no better dog than a Boxer for loyalty, intelligence, and boundless enthusiasm?whether it's on the agility course or guarding the backyard (usually from neighborhood cats!), the Boxer is always ready for the challenge. The Boxer, a true family favorite, has been valued for many years as a pet, protector, and service dog. Boxers are wonderful family dogs, great with children and sociable with others. They are willing to please and enjoy working for praise, making them a valued member of any household. Boxers have enjoyed the company of movie stars such as Bogie & Bacall, and have been used widely as assistance dogs, police dogs, and rescue dogs. It is difficult to discover another breed that can fill so many niches, or please so many people with such different needs.

The Boxer: Family Favorite,
By Judith Chirgwin SEAPAL BOXER USA (Martha's Vineyard, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Boxer: Family Favorite (170 color photographs) Winner--DWAA Award--Best Single Breed Book of 2000 (Hardcover)
Boxer neophytes might call this a "coffee table" book because of the fine quality of the cover, photos, paper, binding, etc. To anyone interested in entering world the Boxer this book says welcome. But we who do own (or expect to own), breed, and show our Boxers will find this book to contain valuable information on all Boxer topics so important to us: history, breeding, puppy selection, health, etc. The writing is clear, well organized, and a pleasure to read. Because Stephanie Abraham is well known in the national and international Boxer world, she had the confidence of the owners of these beautiful dogs so they released these many photos for her book. Experienced Boxer folk will recognize the magnificent Boxers in the crisp, colored photos.

The Boxer: Family Favorite -- A Must Have,
By Pamela Bloom (Falls Church, VA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Boxer: Family Favorite (170 color photographs) Winner--DWAA Award--Best Single Breed Book of 2000 (Hardcover)
As an owner of three boxers and 10 boxer books, if I could only have one boxer book this would be it. It is full of wonderful information for both people who know and love the breed, and also is a wonderful introduction to someone considering their first boxer.

The Boxer: Family Favorite is one of the most enjoyable dog books I have read. The author's love of boxers, enthusiasm and dedication to the breed is evident on every page. She provides a wealth of practical information for anyone interested in boxers, the photographs are beautiful, and I recommend this book highly.
