4.0 out of 5 stars Good Basic Book, January 22, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Rottweiler: An Owner's Guide to a Happy Healthy Pet (Hardcover)

This is a good book for basic ideas about Rottweilers -- the sort of book to read if you are thinking about getting a Rottweiler but haven't decided. If covers the basics of dog ownership as they apply to the Rottweiler's basic temperment as a breed. It is also a good book for those who did as we did, pick up a Rottweiler from the pound. As it is short and quick reading, it gives the basics of the Rottweiler's psychology and habits for those in need of quick reference. I recommend it for those not yet Rottweiler owners and those who became Rottweiler owners unexpectedly.

This book gives you the needed know how of the "habits" that you can't figure out and explains ways to do things in an easier way.
