Beautiful Book!

If you are getting a dachshund or thinking about getting a dachshund.......this is a must have! As the author admits this is not an all inclusive how to train your dog book. But, it does touch on training and specific to dachshunds. They can be a quirky breed (of course that only makes that more lovable!). Those quirks are covered well in this book. Potty issues are always something to contend with when you own a dachshund, but the book touches on how to deal with that. Other training books are generic and not specific. The care for a dachshund is a little different due to their structure.......this is also covered in the book. Other than all that......the pictures are just gorgeous!!!!!! You can't turn a page without each dachshund touching your heart. This also would make a wonderful present for any dachshund lover. The book is informative and entertaining!

An excellent book and guide for understanding your Dax

This is a very well written and laid out book, with many color photographs, by an author who is obviously a Dax devotee, personally interested in the breed's welfare. In it you will find everything you would want to know about that cute, short, long clown of a dog in your life - your Dax; from puppyhood to old age, it will teach you how to care for your dog, how to train it, and how to keep it healthy. Definitely highly recommended!

Another Very Good Book!

I very much enjoyed this book. It covers many areas and is full of good info. Not a generic book with the word dachshund filled into the blanks. Lots of nice colour photos.

Outstanding for Dachshunds!

This is the finest 'coffee table' books on the Dachshund breed. The book has a huge number of photographs depicting the dachshund as it really is - in every aspect. A book for the breeder as well as the enthusiastic pet owner, novie and professional as well. You will truly enjoy this book for its content in both picture and written word.
