5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely Informative, January 21, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Weimaraners (A Complete Pet Owner's Manual) (Paperback)

This book has not only information you would expect in any dog book but also provides information specific to the traits of a Weimaraner. The chapter, "Understanding Your Weimaraner," sets the tone for the rest of the book. These dogs need special people who will take the time to understand them. The chapter, "Sharing Your Life With a Weimaraner," provided numerous suggestions for harnessing the fantastic energy and love of this breed. In between, I learned a lot about Weimaraners. All in all, I would suggest this book for anyone who is interested in acquiring a Weimaraner or for anyone who already has one and wants to know more about the breed.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Weimaraner Thanks Me for Reading this Great Book!, February 28, 2005

This review is from: Weimaraners (A Complete Pet Owner's Manual) (Paperback)

If you're reading this review and have a Weimaraner, we already have something in common-that very special bond with a very special and unique breed of dog that really stands out from the crowd.

My life changed when I got my beautiful and loving dog, Savannah. While I was waiting for her to be old enough to pick up from the breeder, I purchased "Weimaraners: Everything About Housing, Care, Nutrition, Breeding and Health Care", written by Susan Fox. I had a Weimaraner, several years ago, but she was a senior Weimer and at 9 years of age I was pretty sure I wasn't going to change too many of her habits. I took her from a shelter and we share a beautiful and exciting life together until she passed away.

I wanted to do everything right and I found all of the answers to my questions when I read this book. It really IS a "Complete Pet Owner's Manual" and I suggest that all Weimaraner parents purchase this or check it out from your local library.

It's filled with eveything from what to feed them, to how to successfully exercise them, to housing them properly, breeding and much, much more. Susan Fox deserves a great deal of credit for writing a manual that has been a sort of "Weimaraner Bible" for me. And my life with Savannah is going just fantastic. I owe a great deal of credit to the book and to Savannah.

It's a really good read for Weimaraner lovers. You'll relate to so much and there is plenty of information in there for everyone! It's organized well and the index makes sense and will direct you to the precise area you're looking for.

Happy Reading and Happy Raising of your Weimaraner. It's a great experience.

Thanks..
