5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent basic book on the breed, November 24, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Rottweiler (Dog Owner's Guides) (Hardcover)

This book is head and shoulders above the typical Rottweiler breed-specific book available to the general public. Whereas most Rottweiler books are about dogs in general, and don't spend a lot of time explaining temperment and personality, this book is extremely breed-specific. Blackmore really seems to understand the psychology of these wonderful dogs and warns that they are not for everybody. Photos are great too, and really show off the personality of the breed.

this was my first rottweiler book,and thow it gives you only abrief overview about the the history and other important aspects of the breed,it gives the novice all he needs to know.when i say all i mean all.the real "little" problems that owners of young rotties will meet are discussed in asimple clear manner and this is exactly what the rottie owner needs.

Puleese! Even a novice dog owner can discern purely rediculous rot from reality. Tie a string around the bowl? Slosh the dog with ice water? Throw a heavy collar in it's face?
The only thing positive or closely resembling any helpful information is the photos. At least now we know what a Rottweiler looks like!
