The author breeds and raises German Shepherds for guide dog and police work. Another book of hers, "The Great New DOg Book" won the Maxwell Medallion for Best General Reference Book of 1995 by the Dog Writers Association of America.

If you've got a puppy, you're gonna want this book.

Let me tell you, my little Sheltie was going all over the carpet and that is a big, big no no. I was at my wits end. I just loved her to death and it broke my heart, keeping her outside. Then a friend turned me onto this book and I went straight to page 50 and the "Let's Talk Housebreaking" Chapter. It worked. Now my baby staying inside with me where she belongs. But don't get me wrong, this book is about so much more than housebreaking and puppy raising. There is good advice here for dogs and people of all ages. People and pups, they belong together and Ms. Gray has written a nice little book that helps them stay together.
