I bought the first edition of this book about 11 years ago when I purchased my second Rott. Every dog owner owes it to their dog to be well informed about their dog's requirements, quirks, health issues, thraining requirements and characteristics - and this books gives you the info you need. For Rottweiler owners it is even more important to understand your breed because a Rottie out of control just reinforces the stigma attached to the breed - and they can be dangerous. Rotties are wonderful dogs and after owning Rotts for more than 20 years I have learned a lot of do's and don'ts. Do yourself a favor read this book before you get a Rottie and you and your dog will be so much better off. It includes wonderful advice on training and anything you should know to make sure your dog is well socialized, healthy and sane. I loved this book for its well rounded advice and explanations on the differend breed standards based on geography. It's basic enough for the beginner to get lots and lots of good advice even if you don't want to breed or show. Be aware of the downsides of the breed, health issues and the associated cost, exercise requirements, top dollar for good diet - it makes your dog live longer and healthier. Rotties, especially males, need a firm handler, NOT a brutal one but one that they can look up to. They are not a beginner dog and too many of them end up at the pound because yet another person thought they could have one without dedicating the right amount of time. If you want one, read this book first and then think twice. If you are sure you can take on the challenge, you will be rewarded with the most loyal friend you can imagine!

I bought a series of "upper price range" books on Rottweilers and this is by far the best of the bunch. This book covers every conceivable angle on Rotty's. It is a good sized book with lovely photography also. If you are looking for one book to cover all aspects of your Rottweilers life and history this is most definitely the best one. I bought one that was 4 times this price and was still no better!!...Enjoy....

I bought a number of books on Rotty's in one shipment. This is the best of the best as far as I am concerned. Beautiful pictures and very informative. If you are going to get one this would have to be it. Highly recommended.

This book provides great info about the breed from puppyhood to adulthood. The pictures and drawing are also a great visual to learning about these wonderful creatures. I would highly recommend this book to rottweiler owners.

This book is very informative for beginners with lots of pictures and covers all aspects such as rearing,training,feeding,health etc.Any one new to rottweilers must buy this book.

Great book! You won't be disappointed. Tons of pictures and useful info for pet owner, breeder, or conformation/obedience/show participant. Thee are even sections on herding and agility, etc. I would recommend it highly.
