This review is from: The Rottweiler Handbook (Paperback)
Unlike the high praise I have for the German Shepherd Dog Handbook and the American Pit Bull Terrier handbook, this one has nothing that makes it stand out from other books of the same breed. The author also focuses 90% of the pages to general dog care, not Rottweiler specific information. That means you could find 90% of this books information in a book about any large and dominant breed, a book on dogs in general, or even in some dog encyclopedias. And you could find ALL OF IT in any other Rottweiler book. Now, that's not such a bad thing if you don't have any books on general dog care and want one with a Rottie twist but it is a VERY BAD thing if you're comming to this book as a student of the Rottweiler breed and hoping to learn something you don't already know! I reccomend the Rottweiler book in the "Happy Healthy Pet" series over this. While a lot of it is a reiteration of general dog care too, the Rottie specific information left me more satasfied as it goes deeper into the essence and history of this breed.

From the Author...,
This review is from: The Rottweiler Handbook (Paperback)
This book is the culmination of roughly two years of research, travel, and interviews with top breeders, trainers, and rescue organizations devoted to the Rottweiler in both the United States and Germany. "The Rottweiler Handbook" contains chapters on: History of the Rottweiler (did you know that German historians say that "Rottweil" was *not* named for the red tiles, but for something else?); The Rottweiler Today; The Rottweiler as a Companion; The Rottweiler's Life Stages; Choosing the Rottweiler Puppy; Adopting the Adult Rottweiler; Preparing for the New Arrival; Welcome Home; Crate Training and House-training; Grooming and Feeding; Preventive Care; Common Diseases of the Rottweiler; The Basics of a Well-behaved Rottweiler; Beyond the Basics-Getting Involved; and Useful Addresses and Literature.The book also contains more than 100 color photographs that were taken in both the United States and Germany.

If you want one book with all the info you need as a Rottweiler owner this is the one. I would reccomend getting this book BEFORE you make your final decision to bring home a Rott. It is a great, practicle guide to a wonderful breed.
