Dedication To The Breed
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
We have 2 dogs... a Boxer and a Rottweiler. After I bought "The Boxer - Family Favorite" by the same publisher (Wiley & Sons), I decided I must have this one regarding my other favorite breed... the Rottweiler. A good looking hard cover book with 250+ pages of excellent info. Pictures adorn most pages. Topics include: History, breeding, basic care, health & symptoms, activities for you & your dog, training tips, size & incredible strength, enjoyment, and so much more. It is clearly evident that authors Thompson and Michels are dedicated to the breed. Anyone owning or considering the Rottweiler as a pet should have this book. I have half a dozen books on the breed and I find myself reaching for this one the most. Any dog-lover will admire all the pictures of these big beautiful animals and understandable print. A wonderful read.

One of the best books on the breed that I have ever read, written by two experts!

That the authors have years of experience in the rottweiler breed is evident both in this amazing book, and in the pedigrees of the many dogs enjoying enormous success in the AKC rottweiler ring today. This book is perfect for the new, or prospective, rottweiler owner. It gives good advice, not based on fad, but based on experience. The photographs are beautiful, and yes I do have three photos published in this book, but it only takes a quick browse through the pages to fall in love again, and again with this noble breed. For the experienced rottweiler owner who participates in AKC activities, this book is a photographic ride down memory lane with some of the best dogs in rottweiler history. Breeders, buy this for your puppy buyers! It will surely assist in answering the many questions of owners struggling with a new puppy. Thank you Cathy and Linda for a beautiful book, and thank you to the publisher for an amazing series.
Beautiful,great pics,for all rott lovers,must have book.

This book will quench the thirst of a true rottie lover. Written by people with current knowledge and years of experience in the breed. Everything from history to references for breed clubs,meanings of title abbreviations, and lists of recent years winners. Discusses care of the dog from birth thru older ages, and even talks about different dog activities. A must read for both novice and veteran alike. This is my favorite book of the 15 Rottweiler books that I own.
