Didn't learn much,
By t gregoire (brookline, ma USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Boxers (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
As a "dog person", I have to say that I learned very little specifically about boxers from this book. There is some standard stuff about dogs in general "Fleas feed on a dog by biting and sucking its blood. Their bites often cause severe itching..." Who doesn't know this information? Even children can tell you this without reading this (price) book. The stuff which is specific to boxers (breed standards, health information) can easily be obtained by an internet search. The only reason I gave it two stars is that some of the photographs are nice. I don't reccomend buying this book.
