This review is from: Doberman Pinscher: An Owner's Guide to Happy Healthy Pet (Hardcover)

We bought the book because we had never owned a Dobe before and our two kids (ages 9 and 13) wanted to learn how to train their dog themselves. They have done a fantastic job following the book's instructions and "Spector" who came to us at 10 weeks old is now fully grown and a great member of our family.

This review is from: Doberman Pinscher: An Owner's Guide to Happy Healthy Pet (Hardcover)

This book was informative on health care such as

coat, toe nails, bathing, feeding etc.. I was

somewhat diappointed in the behavior section. I

was needing information as a first time owner of

a dobie with two small children and it really

didn't fit my needs or answer my questions of the

behavior of the breed toward families with

children.
