5.0 out of 5 stars The best dog choosing book, June 1, 2000

By 

Thomas Mosley (Midwest City, OK USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Choosing the Perfect Dog for You and Your Family (Paperback)

I wish I could put another star on this book. It tells you everything you need to get the right dog for you, your family, and your living conditions. This book also tells you exactly what to look for in a dog and why you're looking for it. Choosing the Perfect Dog for You and Your Family also tells you more than enough information about every dog that is good with children. It gives you many helpful tips on training, housebreaking, and even naming your dog. Last and best of all, this book tells you about how dogs think, and by learning how dogs think, you will not raise a wild and out of control dog.

2.0 out of 5 stars GOLDEN RETRIEVERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, May 25, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Choosing the Perfect Dog for You and Your Family (Paperback)

Uh... yeah... choosing the perfect GOLDEN RETRIEVER for you and your family. The review for the Cairn Terrier in the book (a breed I like) makes it sound like they are snappy, enerjetic, and tough guys. 'He's not a big boned tower of pateince. He can't take the indiscriminate pounding some very small children might mete out.' Shetland Sheepdog: snappy, annoying little breeds that be scared of cars if never exposed. Yeah, that's with all breeds. It never mentions their trainability-they're one of the smartest breeds. And they say that they are bad and poor if treated badly! 'Train them easily and gently and you can maintain their sweet temperaments.' The Golden Retriever review (not that I don't like them) talks about how they are the best family dog, are easy to care for, and are just the best, best, best dog ever! I some other reviews it also says that you shouldn't get this breed- get a Golden Retriever. That is mean to other breeds and their breeders!
