5.0 out of 5 stars This is a very good basic book on Boxers., April 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Boxers: Everything About Purchase, Care, Nutrition, Breeding, Behavior, and Training (Complete Pet Owner's Manual) (Paperback)

This book gives a clear, concise information on the Boxer. It is written in an educational manner but not dry or boring. The illustrations and drawings are very good and enhance the text. This book should be of great value for readers who are looking for basic information, as well as veteran Boxer owners.

5.0 out of 5 stars A perfect book for the first time Boxer owner, August 7, 1999

This review is from: Boxers: Everything About Purchase, Care, Nutrition, Breeding, Behavior, and Training (Complete Pet Owner's Manual) (Paperback)

Excellent writing with just the right amount of history and breed specifics. My nine-year old son especially enjoyed reading it. The author's use of only Boxers with natural ears in her photos encourages owners not to clip their dog's ears.

2.0 out of 5 stars Why a bargain may not be a bargain?, August 1, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Boxers: Everything About Purchase, Care, Nutrition, Breeding, Behavior, and Training (Complete Pet Owner's Manual) (Paperback)

I bought this book because it was inexpensive and, from its title, appeared to cover any boxer topic about which I might possibly care to read. While some parts of the book were interesting, the numerous typos throughout the book were embarrassingly obvious and distracting. Also, some of the author's advice directly contradicted much of the information I have read from other boxer experts. I was left feeling like I would have been better off investing a little more money in a better quality book.
