5.0 out of 5 stars The Basics Explained in Full, February 10, 2000

By

This review is from: The Complete Boxer (Hardcover)

As a new Boxer owner I searched high and low, read many articles, called the ABC and searched for information. After all of that time spent I saw this book on my friends coffee table, (Another Boxer owner) and asked to barrow it... As a true friend he said, "no, you'll need one for yourself. And I still need mine!" I figured since he has raised Boxers for years it was a MUST HAVE. Well, after reading through the book once, I had to re-read it. There was just so much info about training, Teaching, and show prospecting, to only read it once.

A real MUST HAVE for any current Boxer owner, or prospective Boxer owner. I suggest reading this book before you buy your puppy!

P.S. After reading this book I chose a real show prospect... I'll write again when he is a Ch.

5.0 out of 5 stars First Time Boxer Owner's Bible, December 18, 1999

This review is from: The Complete Boxer (Hardcover)

I've read three other Boxer books in the past year. Tim has added a personal touch. Lot's of information to help the first time boxer owner. The number of illustrations to help show which is a great boxer and which is not quite up to standard were a great help.
