4.0 out of 5 stars The best I've read to date, March 28, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: New Owners Guide to Shar Pei (JG Dog) (Hardcover)
The book was very informative. The pictures were clear and in color, which actually showed and told you what you were looking at. Out of 3 books I've bought on Shar-pei, this one was not a waste of my money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Informative Well written * * * * * * * * * *, August 23, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: New Owners Guide to Shar Pei (JG Dog) (Hardcover)
This book was absolutely wonderful. Ms. Kleinhans has truly done a great job at getting across not only her excellent information but her obvious personal knowledge of the breed and her love for it as well. From the first pages you know that she knows these dogs and has had a great deal of personal experience with them. She is not just a writer doing a job and trying her best. She writes with a love and passion for the breed that comes through with each turn of the page. The photo's were also excellent and truly illustrated the points being made. If I could give it 10 stars I would. In fact, in my own mind I have already done so. My highest rating.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not specific to Shar Pei's, January 1, 2005
This review is from: New Owners Guide to Shar Pei (JG Dog) (Hardcover)
I ordered this book when I knew I was getting 2 Shar Pei's for Christmas. I am not familiar with the breed so did a ton of surfing on the net about them. This book received high ratings, so I ordered it.

I did not think that this book offered enough information regarding health problems specific to the Shar Pei breed. It generally would reference anything that a dog could contract, but did not discuss what the Shar Pei breed could run into. I found that to be lacking.

Also, it spent many pages about training for Sport which you may or may not choose (beyond sit, stay, etc.) To tought yourself as a Shar Pei book, I did not find that it discussed Shar Pei specific topics. I would not recommend buying this book if you are familar with dogs in general, and are buying a Shar Pei.

If you have never lived/raised a dog, this is a short book to read for general ideals about dogs.
