5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best I've read on German Shepherd dogs., January 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Good Shepherd: Pet Owner's Guide to the German Shepherd Dog Series: The S-M Dog Library (Hardcover)

I have owned German Shepherd dogs for 22 years and this book still told me things I was not aware of. This author has a great reputation in the dog world and it is well deserved. He does an excellent job of covering everything you have to know about this wonderful breed without going into long, technical and boring details I have seen in other books. It is a great little book that you can keep handy for frequent reference. A must for every owner of a German Shepherd Dog!

5.0 out of 5 stars I couldn't put this book down!, January 11, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Good Shepherd: Pet Owner's Guide to the German Shepherd Dog Series: The S-M Dog Library (Hardcover)

I have been looking at getting a dog for the last six months and have just recently focused on the German Shepherd Dog. There are a ton of available books out there, and I'm sure there are many very good ones. This one caught my eye, however, becuase its co-written by "Uncle Matty", who I first saw on his PBS show "Woof! It's a dog's life". The care and love he showered the dogs on the show, especially the ones with "behaviour problems" endeared him to me from the start. He brings the same warmth and compassion to "The Good Shepherd", and includes loads of useful info as well. He is also very practical about what kind of dog the GSD is and what kind of person the owner needs to be. Honest and perceptive, this book convinced me that the German Shepherd dog is the right best friend for me!

This book contains just what the person contemplating getting a German Shepherd Dog needs. I've owned German Shepherds all my life and know a great deal about the breed. This book gives everything you need to be a successful and proud GSD owner. Easy to read and understand. Great book for experienced GSD owners too. Pete Brevik
