excellent info

this book is a great source of info not seen in any of the other Shepherd books. It is sort of small, but goes very in depth into specific Shepherd health problems, Shepherd traits, diet, and anything else. I liked the fact that it was Shepherd oriented the whole way throguh, unlike many other dog books. I highly reccomend this, even if you already have a GSD.

A book full of striking photos and good advice

I have had this book for some time and have recently decided to revisit it. I am glad I did. Along with the incredibly good quality photos of the many different 'models' of GSD that are available (and so co-operative for the camera!),there is lots of sound advice on anything you could possibly need regarding your GS. It is a bit short on words, but this makes the information concise and easy to remember. I particularly liked the first aid advice, so this book could prove invaluable and is small enough to be portable, so the advice can be at hand should you need it... The book would be great for a new GSD owner (perhaps included by the breeder on purchase of the pup?), as well as the experienced, especially if you like pictures of nice, everyday, non show dogs!

very good short no nonsense book

Compact size. Carefully put together information. Solid basics given without too many words but understandable. Pictures are very helpfull and exceptional quality. This is cheap and good book for novice GS owner. I favor this book out of 4 i bought before.

German Shepherd is a must have for all GSD fanciers...

Flipping through the pages a parade of beautiful pictures met my eyes. Well written, clear, and informative I would reccomend this book to all new German Shepherd dog owners
