3.0 out of 5 stars
Good GSD guide,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: German Shepherd Dog: A Comprehensive Guide to Owning and Caring for Your Dog (Comprehensive Owner's Guide) (Hardcover)
While this book is partially biased towards American bred GSDs it is a good inexpensive reference guide to the breed (I would recommend Fred Lanting's book above this one, but it is more expensive). It is detailed and doesn't get too deep into the breed or the health (it's more like a "GSD for Dummies" book).
2.0 out of 5 stars
Not a great book....,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: German Shepherd Dog: A Comprehensive Guide to Owning and Caring for Your Dog (Comprehensive Owner's Guide) (Hardcover)
This book is not detailed at all. It has general things for most dogs and then doesn't go into detail on the GSD specific issues like I was hoping it would. Gives a good history of GSDs but nothing that I couldn't live without knowing. This is more of a---if you are thinking about getting a GSD dog, not a-----reference for someone that has one. If you put serious thought and research into getting a GSD then this is not the book for you. If you are thinking about getting one, read this and some stuff on the internet first.
