3.0 out of 5 stars A good "at a glance" type of book but..., August 9, 1998

By A Customer

Could be more in-depth on the genetic diseases, ie von Willebrand's and Wobblers, and Cardio. Pretty good for novice/newcomers, but covers some basic info. Did a decent job with the history, very brief and concise but got the job done. Not a very reliable, "true" source, but a good second opinion. It did keep my interest, though, and had a picture of one of the great fawn dobes, Ch. Ravenswood 20 20. Don't believe everything you read though. I would have liked them to describe the four colors, and also mention the white dobes, which are harmful to the breed. Overall, could be a better book, but there was some good in it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Informative for the potential owner, December 12, 2000

By	Robert M. Bohanek "mn_apple" (Mendota Hts, MN United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I found the information presented was good and well thought out. I think this book is more applicable to the potential owner then the current owner, because of the training methods supported in the book. this may be due to when the book was written, but does not jive with most of the current literature that I have been reading.

1.0 out of 5 stars Blegh, January 18, 2004

By A Customer

I found this book to be way too brief. It shows no depth when it comes to the information of Dobermans, and it quickly leaves the Doberman idea behind and just states basic first aid medication that every book of this same brand has. I bought this at a pet store when purchasing toys for my own Doberman. There was obviously no real, genuine thought put into this book, and I myself, though unarticulate and not at all skilled in writing, could display more quality information instead of a brief overview of a Doberman. I personally would not have purchased this book if I had even skimmed through the pages.
