It has detailed information on every subject of the breed, including history and its differences in other countries. Some of it is generalized information in the training parts and a few other parts but most of all it is all GSD info. It explains many common health concerns and common parasites and how to treat common problems and injuries or what to do if something happens. It has some basic information on more advanced training options like tracking and search and rescue and my copy came with DVD on dog training, though I have yet to watch it, if it was anything thing like the book, it should be good. I would recommend to anyone wanting to know more about the breed and to lovers of the breed that couldn’t get enough of GSD.

Although I’m not totally unfamilar with the GSD, this book is very useful and infomative, starting with the history of the GSD, which is pretty interesing, alot of facts I never knew. I owned a GSD 10 years ago, and in 2 weeks, will be the proud owner of a new puppy. I believe reading this book beforehand, I am better prepared in bringing a GSD into our home. I HIGHLY recommed this book to anyone who may be interested in owning a GSD!!

As a first time dog owner, I found this book very helpful, it is packed with history of the German Shepherd dog, and I was impressed with the additional information on the White Shepherd Dog (which is what I have). There is a lot of breed-specific information throughout, and good beginning tips on training (though I purchased another book specifically for training also).
The DVD that comes with the book is not really that great, it’s got no specific German Shepherd Dog content, and the training guide in it encourages you to train with constant treat motivation.
Also, not content-related, I really liked the feel of this book, it’s a hard cover but opens flat, and the pages have a nice feel as you read through it.

A wonderful text that aptly describes the breed, the photos really help give you an idea of how different the look of the german shepherd dpg can be. Training this dogs takes a light hand, and as stated Autumn of Blessed Acres service dogyou should never hit a shepherd….. the training is basic and well presented.

The internet offers us plenty of information on these wonderful dogs but I have found so much more breed specific information with this book then i have found in loads of time searching the internet. The book is broken down into sections and each section is well written and VERY informative. I have learned many new approaches to training my puppy Maverick and they are working. I have not had the opportunity to watch the DVD but so far the book has been well worth the price and will be a good guide to have at hand while my little buddy is growing up.
