The Essential Weimaraner

Going by the reviews for this book on this site I thought this was a must have book as I am considering getting a Weimaraner puppy. This book is not for someone like me. I am looking for info that a pet owner who spayeds and neuters all their pets would need. This book does not fill that bill. It covers history of the breed, standards and so on... Only two chapters could I use and due to the fact the Author is British and so uses British terms which I found some what confusing. If you plan to get a Weimaraner for a pet and don't wish to add to the population by breeding, don't plan to show for conformation, or want a history lesson close to Biblical terms, then get a book I found very useful and very informativ. A New Owners Guide To Weimaraners by Judythe Coffman, it's easier to read, very informative esp. the diet and I will keep it handy for my puppy.I really hate the fact I spent over $20 for this book and can't use it, good things about on-line buying is savings, bad thing is sending back and hoping you get your money.

This is a wonderful book. This product was delivered on time and was exactly what I expected. It is a wonderful product and I recommend it.

Extremely imfomative book. I recomended this BEFORE you being home a puppy.

Lots of good information if you show your dog.

These series of books are wonderful when raising a dog especially if you need information concerning the breed type and temperment. Great condition!

I purchased this book in preparation for the arrival of our new puppy, and had read it twice through by the time he arrived. This book has been a real blessing in helping us to understand our little guy's personality, temperament and ways. It has been helpful in getting us through the first days of "crate training"(ugh!) by reminding us that we will be thankful that we did this later! It even helped me to converse intelligently with the breeder about Weimaraner Standards and I even had a sense of what to look for in our puppy that might indicate his ultimate quality as an adult. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is contemplating the addition of a Weim to the family!

I am thinking of taking on a weimaraner for the first time. I live in the UK and am planning on an older dog, one needing to be rehomed. I ordered this book thinking it would be full of useful facts for a 'novice' such as myself. However, it was smaller in size than I had expected, and was not easy to read due to design. Content was made up mostly of history (deep stuff most people would not need to know), and lists of breeders/bloodlines. Useful to potential breeders but disappointing for myself. Especially since I had waited so long to receive it. Would get my money back if that were possible. £20 sterling is a lot for such a book.

An 'Essential' insight into the world of the weimaraner,As a weimaraner owner/breeder/exhibitor I still refer to this book on a regular basis.Handy hints and tips about how your dog thinks and acts from a person who trully understands this most rewarding and demanding breed.OK so it doesn't tell you what to do every step of the way or hold your hand throughout your dog's life, but if that's what you want maybe the Weimaraner isn't for you. I find this book informative and helpful in a number of areas,Even as an 'Experienced'Weimaraner owner. So it is a must read for those serious about owning and rearing a happy healthy pet.Recommended reading for all our new puppy owners.

Bought book to get as much information about breed wasn't disappointed very informative author is champion breeder and top judge on the breed
