My Review:

When I saw that all these dog breed books were done by Animal Planet, I totally had to get one. The choice was easy, as I love big dogs and have been interested in the GSD (a.k.a. German Shepherd Dog) recently.

This book is very straightforward and easy to follow. You’ll find everything you want to know about the breed and more here. It’s very informative about health issues and caring for your GSD (even in emergencies, such as it getting choked or getting lost). There’s plenty of info on activities for you and your GSD, training, grooming, etc. Everything you need to know.

I knew quite a bit about the training and tricks because I watch Animal Planet so much, but I still learned a lot from this book and would love to have it in my collection. I would also read others from this collection.

I liked the photos they included and the look of the book(s) in general.

Suffice to say, this book made me want a GSD even more someday. Actually, it clinched it!
