1.0 out of 5 stars This magazine should be called "The Breeder's Advertiser", March 20, 2007

This review is from: Dog World (1-year) (Magazine)

I am a huge fan of dog magazines overall, and even generally like reading through all of the dog product advertisements that they all include, but I can't imagine who would want half of their magazine every single month devoted to a directory of breeders.

I do enjoy their "Meet the breed" feature, but I strongly wish that with this section they would also mention rescue information such as contact info for breed specific rescue organizations, which I really haven't seen included anywhere in the magazine.

The magazine doesn't have much content to it in comparison to the huge number of advertisements, and entire the second half of the magazine is just a list of breeders and breeder's advertisements. A breeder's directory seems like something that would make sense to have a special issue every six months of so for, not waste half of the magazine to every month.

I am very disappointed with this magazine and have decided to cancel my subscription after 5 issues.

Dog World has much more interesting and thought-provoking articles for those involved in dog showing, breeding, performance events, etc. However, over half of the magazine is devoted to breeder ads, which is annoying. Still, overall I recommend it for the articles.

I love this magazine but I am disappointed that the last half of the magazine is mostly ads. I expected more articles or pictures but still all in all it is a decent magazine about dogs.
