Informative, descriptive, fun read for all types of owners - well worth it!
I bought this book because I thought it would be a good addition - especially as a hard cover - to my german shepherd library. And because the GSD on the cover was calling to me, heh. I have quite the arsenal of shepherd memorabilia of all kinds and am quite pleased to be able to add this book to the rest of my acquisitions. It's immensely informative, going into great detail for the novice while being an entertaining read to the more experienced among us GSD lovers. The book is a fun read as well as being an educational one. I would recommend it highly!
