This review is from: The Weimaraner (Terra Nova Series) (Hardcover)

This book covers the basics on training, first aid, separation anxiety and more. Weimaraners are a unique breed and this book does a good job of explaining about these dogs. I checked this book out of my local library and decided I wanted my own copy so I ordered it from Amazon. The many typos and misspellings are annoying and the same pictures are used repeatedly throughout the book. The later is a shame since these dogs are so photogenic.
