5.0 out of 5 stars Rottweilers and a Respect for the Breed!, February 13, 2002

By	psifur - See all my reviews

I never realized prior to now the sheer importance of proper care and training of a Rottweiler until reading this book. This book should be required reading for anyone considering raising a Rottweiler or who currently owns one. I actually felt myself doubting whether I can provide the necessary attention and fortitude that this breed requires. I have always loved this breed and the book precisely specifies why it should be loved and why the task of raising one should not be taken lightly. Every consideration for the Rottweiler is mentioned in this book, from purchasing to care and nutrition, to behavior and training. I thoroughly recommend this book for anyone considering purchasing a Rottweiler or if you currently own one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great foundation!!, July 16, 2001

By	Thomas Buckner (Yreka, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was given a full-blooded bitch and did not really know alot about Rottweillers except for the preconceived notions of their viciousness. With smaller kids at home I was a little worried. But after reading this book and discovcering what a wonderful breed these dogs are, I am no longer worried and our puppy is doing awesome and I am learning alot every day. The book has great information about the Rottweiller breed and what to expect as well as great advice and techniques for training. Nicely written.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of useful practical information; clear and concise, July 30, 1999

This review is from: Rottweilers: Everything About Purchase, Care, Nutrition, Breeding, Behavior, and Training (Pet Owner's Manual) (Paperback)

This book is organized as a practical handbook (owners manual) for the rottweiler breed. It includes lots of factual information on how to handle and train such large dogs from a practical standpoint. I have reviewed several books on the topic of rottweilers and this one is by far the best of all.
