Think you know it all?? then read on

An 'Essential' insight into the world of the weimaraner,As a weimaraner owner/breeder/exhibitor I still refer to this book on a regular basis.Handy hints and tips about how your dog thinks and acts from a person who trully understands this most rewarding and demanding breed.OK so it doesn't tell you what to do every step of the way or hold your hand throughout your dog's life, but if that's what you want maybe the Weimaraner isn't for you. I find this book informative and helpful in a number of areas,Even as an 'Experienced'Weimaraner owner. So it is a must read for those serious about owning and rearing a happy healthy pet.Recommended reading for all our new puppy owners.

Happy owner of a Weimaraner!

We are the happy owner of a one and a half year old weimaraner that my son received for his 4th birthday. We had been looking for a book that covered everything one needed to know to raise a weimaraner. This one definetly has plenty of helpful information. It covers development, purchasing, care, breed standards, showing, hunting and working, breeding and whelping, and common diseases and health care. We are now looking forward to puppies in seven weeks. This book gave me information to select a mate and breed my dog. I loved it!

Extremely Helpful!

I purchased this book in preparation for the arrival of our new puppy, and had read it twice through by the time he arrived. This book has been a real blessing in helping us to understand our little guy's personality, temperament and ways. It has been helpful in getting us through the first days of "crate training"(ugh!) by reminding us that we will be thankful that we did this later! It even helped me to converse intelligently with the breeder about Weimaraner Standards and I even had a sense of what to look for in our puppy that might indicate his ultimate quality as an adult. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is contemplating the addition of a Weim to the family!

overall a great book about weimaraners

Very heplful book if you know very little about weimaraners. The author covers everything from the history of the breed to caring for your dog. She also includes breed standards for the UK, USA, and Germany. And successful kennels/dogs that have done well in their respective country. This book was a blessing when we were looking for a weimaraner.
