Customer Reviews

Great Resource

I do telephone interviews for a New England based Boxer Rescue. Often times I discover that folks really know nothing about our very lovable, smart and stubborn breed. They only know that they have been told that boxers are a great family dog. Dogs frequently wind up in rescue because they are untrained and misunderstood. When I get through these people get told about "The Everything Boxer Book"! It is a wonderful resource. No frills at all, just good information and easy to understand. I have 4 rescue boxers of my own and also foster dogs for the rescue. I have found information in this book that I had forgotten more than 30 years ago!

very helpful

I purchased this book after getting my first boxer. It is a very good book for the new boxer owner. I wish I would have had this book before getting my boxer- it would have been helpful when interviewing the breeder. It would also be very helpful for those who have not researched the boxer before. I did not give it 5 stars only because a lot of the information was basic dog information - education on training techniques and caring for a dog. But if you are new to owning a dog or haven't had a new puppy in a while, it would be very helpful. The information is all accurate and educational and is a good review for any dog owner.

The One Must-Have Guide for Boxer Owners

If you are a new, or even a not-so-new family member of a boxer, you will learn a lot from this book. Karla Spitzer is experienced with this breed and does a great job explaining in clear terms how to make a good life for your boxer, whether you have acquired a pup or perhaps an older rescued boxer. How I wish I had this book when our first boxer, a rescued stray, came into our lives. Sadly there are many people who bring home a boxer but are not aware of some of the special medical issues to be on the alert for and some of the special needs of the boxer as a member of your pack. With a guide like this you will have a much better experience and your boxer will be happier and healthier.
