5.0 out of 5 stars A must anyone w/limited knowledge but thinking of M. Schnauzer, April 3, 2007
By Ken Fishback "Ken Fishback" (Palm Beach, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This is my third book on the Min. Schnauzer. It is simple, adequate, and comprehensive concerning the Min. Schnauzer. The other two books were too in depth and neither was fully comprehensive like this one. This should be the first book and then build on it. Also a must for any dog owner is "How To Talk With Your Dog"(Auth.-David Alderton). Both Simple and very enjoyable reads with plenty of adequate knowledge. Both should be read prior to or immediatly following bringing these intelligent, loving, and precious animals into your live. My Miniature Schnauzer is the most comforting, loving, intelligent, easy to train dog I've ever seen or owned. It is a very warming and fulfilling experience. This is not an outdoor dog. He needs loving care and brushing every day. It is sooo worth it.

3.0 out of 5 stars NICE COVER/PICTURES ... LIMITED CONTENT, December 5, 2007
By C. E. Wilson (Traverse City, MI USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
While the book is attractive with many nice pictures, the content is somewhat basic and limited. Had hoped for more advanced training procedures and the enclosed CD did not provide much help.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, concise book, January 30, 2009
By John A. Lefcourte (Reno, NV USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This is not a generic dog book with a section on Miniature Schnauzers. The authorities consulted are real miniature schnauzer people. Karen Britten, a breeder, being one of the primary sources. Karen has written articles on grooming Minis and is a contributor to the Simplyschnauzers.net Miniature Schnauzer forum, a valuable resource for Miniature Schnauzer owners and prospective owners. This book covers all the bases and has great photos. I agree that it should be the foundation book for a Mini library. The DVD contained is not comprehensive but has good basic info on training for a start before attending classes.

As a Miniature Schnauzer owner I would caution prospective owners that two hygiene issues not stressed enough in all the books are teeth brushing and pulling hair from the ear canals. These chores should be done daily and may not be necessary for other breeds. One other caution, these game little companions will go anywhere but if you are an outdoor person and want a companion for the field, bush or brush consider another breed. The mini's "hypo-allergenic" hair is velcro to every grass stem twig, seed, burr, foxtail, etc. that it encounters and you'll be brushing for hours to get rid of them.
