Very good book on GSDs

Mr Lanting shares his extensive knowledge about German Shepherd Dogs - a very useful resource book.

One of the top three best English-language books on the GSD

There are few men in North America who know as much about the German Shepherd than Fred Lanting. He shares with the reader his amazing breadth of experience and in most lucid, engaging and elegant prose touches upon virtually all the issues connected with the world's most popular breed. From the genetic origins and evolution of the standard to the health concerns and breeding tips, "Total GSD" has it all. Together with Susan Barwig's "GSD Encyclopedia" and Malcolm Willis' "German Shepherd Dog: a genetic history", it is an absolute "must have" item for any serious GSD fancier.

A must-have in the GSD owner's library.

The perfect book for either the beginning or established German Shepherd Dog owner, THE TOTAL GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG covers its subject "totally". Lanting educates his readers on the GSD from its beginnings in the 1880s through modern bloodlines in both Germany and the U.S. Covering such topics as how to get a healthy GSD puppy, read a German pedigree, whelp a litter, get into agility or obedience and more; the book contains more useful information than most others and is not as intimidating as Willis' THE GERMAN SHEPHERD: A GENETIC HISTORY (also an excellent book). If you are going to buy a book on the German Shepherd Dog, BUY THIS ONE! You won't regret it
