Thinking about getting a Puppy? Read the Book!!

A little basic but still a valuable reference for first time GSD owners
Has good info on history of breed and characteristics and sections on grooming and first aid were most valuable. Section on training is useless.

This review is from: German Shepherd Dog (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
This is an excellent paperback book to acquaint someone with a German Shepherd Dog puppy and the breed characteristics. The book has marvelous pictures and illustrations. The history of the breed is summarized and the stage is set for what you can expect when you get a German Shepherd Dog (GSD). It has a section that walks you through puppy selection and the first days at home. It has a very good section on health concerns and briefly discusses the basic "sit, come, heel" obedience commands. Intended to give a new GSD owner a foundation for building a future with a German Shepherd Dog. Lots of great information in a compact book.

If you are buying a GSD for the first time go to a one-on-one expert trainer. I did this and it cost about $2000 but I have a competition level obedience dog now (on and off leash, hand and verbal commands, without choke/spike/"gentle" leader collars) and he spent more time training me than he did the dog so now I can train any dog that I'll ever own by myself. |
