5 comments about The Boxer: Family Favorite (170 color photographs) Winner--DWAA Award--Best Single Breed Book of 2000.

1. As an owner of three boxers and 10 boxer books, if I could only have one boxer book this would be it. It is full of wonderful information for both people who know and love the breed, and also is a wonderful introduction to someone considering their first boxer.



2. Just to state the fact that The Boxer: Family Favorite won the Dog Writers Association of America award as the Best Single Breed Book of the year 2000. This book is THE definitive in-depth study of the breed by someone who has spent her whole life living with and loving Boxers. The color photographs are outstanding.



3. Author Stephanie Abraham put out another great book in 2000. Enough readers & critics enjoyed it to have it earn the same year's "Dog Writers Assoc of America" award. It's a handsome hardcover book with 220+ crisp pages. Pictures on just about every page. Abraham is dedicated to the Boxer breed. She speaks of the Boxer with admiration as only a Boxer owner could. She writes well and in easy to read fashion. Topics include caring for, general health, choosing your Boxer and traits to look for in a puppy, history, basic tips in training... and so much more. I refer to this book constantly. This is a very thorough book and anyone who owns a Boxer should own it. The only thing it doesn't mention - the older your Boxer gets, the more he slobbers. My family (including our Boxer, Max) is better off for it.



4. This is a nice book, but I did miss some information.
   Too little discussion about the differences between the european boxer and "the american style", both physical and mental differences are now very present. If you live in Europe, I would choose another book.
   For americans I`m sure it will hit the mark, though even for some of them this is an important topic.



5. This is a great book. Wonderful photos. All inclusive. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in this breed. I just purchased a boxer and I found it informative and very helpful to get a good understanding of the breed. This is a great coffee table book also.

1. Fantastic book from one of the most important persons behind the creation of the boxer. You will remember this book for a long time after reading it.



2. This is a charming autobiography by the woman who is responsible for the bloodlines of almost all American and German boxers. Interesting read for all boxer lovers.

1. This book is excellent as it is not the typical generic product that you sometimes see. This book is filled with useful information, positive reinforcement training and wonderful tips.
   As a part of the American Boxer Rescue Association as well as the IAABC and APDT, I will gladly be recommending this book to clients who own boxers.



2. The Boxer (Terra Nova Series) I bought this book as gift for another person. That person owns a boxer and has been caring vor another. That person said the book "was just great."

1. This book is an excellent, well rounded, consise educational book on boxers. Chapters include: -The Typical Boxer -Tips on Buying a Boxer -Getting the Puppy Settled -Understanding Boxers -Training: The Gentle Approach -Daily Grooming and Health Check and, -Proper Nutrition and Feeding -Preventive Health Care and Illnesses -Breeding Boxers

   As you can see this book is very complete. You will understand and appreciate boxers in a whole new way. The book also contains many wonderful color photographs,and a complete lists of additional sources for information and help in caring for your boxer.

   A must have!




2. This is a great book to prepare you for getting a boxer. It has great information on training and health for your new puppy. Also, it has many great pictures of boxers.



3. As a "dog person", I have to say that I learned very little specifically about boxers from this book. There is some standard stuff about dogs in general "Fleas feed on a dog by biting and sucking its blood. Their bites often cause severe itching..." Who doesn't know this information? Even children can tell you this without reading this (price) book. The stuff which is specific to boxers (breed standards, health information) can easily be obtained by an internet search. The only reason I gave it two stars is that some of the photographs are nice. I don't reccomend buying this book.



4. The book wasn't too helpful. Just gave me information on things I already knew. I bought a better one for only $1.00 at a local dollar store. I advise you not to buy and just do a little web surfing online. You'll find better information.



5. It would be a good book for people who know almost nothing about dogs, but its info is very general

5 comments about World of the Boxer: Akc Rank 13.

1. Rick Tomita's World of The Boxer is the BEST book I have ever read/owned, since Billie McFadden's publication! Rick's expertise is totally phenomenal & the content of this entire book is extremely comprehensive, well articulated, and offers a seasoned, as well as a potentially new Boxer owner the "MOST REALISTIC & OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION" of this very special breed. Author Tomita is a virtual "ANGEL OF THE BOXER BREED" and his sharing of his knowledge is far beyond what any other author has done -EVER ! I have been reading books about this breed for the past 20 years, & to say that his is the best book ever to be published is an understatement!



2. This is one of the most comprehensive books on Boxers I have ever seen. It draws both Boxer enthusiasts and anyone who turns it open. Lots of bang for the buck for the hobbiest and the serious breeder, owner, and handler. Recommend most highly.



3. This book is a must have for any one who loves Boxers. It is the most complete and informative compilation I have come across. It is so full of information, full of photos. I especially liked being able to look at photos of my dog's ancestors. Covers the breed's history in detail, lists many of the major dogs/kennels that have contributed to today's Boxer. This book took years to complete, and it shows in just how much it covers.



4. I purchased two copies of this book and gave one as a gift to a friend of mine who breeds/raises/shows Boxers. She had been wanting this book for quite a few years and was happy to get it. She is reading it cover to cover.



5. A must have for all boxer lovers. It is full of interesting information; that you may not have known about the special boxer in your life. A great book.

1. The pages within this book have a very attractive setup which makes the book and the text very appealing to read. Nobody wants to read plain informative text, especially not children. The text is guided with clear, colorful images of both cropped and uncropped boxers (always short tails) as well as boxes containing extra information, expert advice, senior boxer tips and family-friendly tips for improving the relationships between children and their boxers.
   
   Cynthia P. Gallagher did a very good job with this book. Although it does not look like such a big book it does contain a huge collection of information on boxers. It was a good idea to include the senior dog tips because you are not always buying a new puppy. You can adopt a dog that was left or rescued or still needs to be rescued. In the last case an appropriate book on dealing with rescue dogs will probably be necessary though. When I was little I did not like to read books but I'm sure that I would have loved to read this one. Also I'm sure no boxer lover can pass by this book after seeing the cutest, most beautiful boxer pup on the book cover, with his big, sad eyes that are watching you, asking to "please take me home".

5 comments about Boxer Handbook, The (Barron's Pet Handbooks).

1. I thought The Boxer Handbook was very informative--went into great depth about the orgin and history of the boxer. Overall, I would recommend this book to anyone considering purchasing a Boxer for the first time.



2. I have an 11 week old boxer puppy. This book has been a great help in learning all one needs to know about raising a dog. I highly recommend it.



3. This book relates basic dog care information in a fairly well written format. I also purchased the boxer training book from the same author thinking there would be some help not offered there. If you have already purchased a boxer, then I would skip this title and only get the training book. Much of the information is redundant between the books except the deciding if you really want a boxer part.



4. This book has every question I ever wanted to know about the boxer as a breed and a pet. Written in clear easy to understand dialogue.



5. This handbook proved helpful in many, many ways. My son and his financee just got a boxer puppy, Deeken... what a cutie. We have used this handbook many times for info. Thanks for such an informative book at such an amazing price.

3 comments about The Everything Boxer Book: A Complete Guide to Raising, Training, And Caring for Your Boxer (Everything: Pets).

1. If you are a new, or even a not-so-new family member of a boxer, you will learn a lot from this book. Karla Spitzer is experienced with this breed and does a great job explaining in clear terms how to make a good life for your boxer, whether you have acquired a pup or perhaps an older rescued boxer. How I wish I had this book when our first boxer, a rescued stray, came into our lives. Sadly there are many people who bring home a boxer but are not aware of some of the special medical issues to be on the alert for and some of the special needs of the boxer as a member of your pack. With a guide like this you will have a much better experience and your boxer will be happier and healthier.



2. I purchased this book after getting my first boxer. It is a very good book for the new boxer owner. I wish I would have had this book before getting my boxer- it would have been helpful when interviewing the breeder. It would also be very helpful for those who have not researched the boxer before. I did not give it 5 stars only because a lot of the information was basic dog information - education on training techniques and caring for a dog. But if you are new to owning a dog or haven't had a new puppy in a while, it would be very helpful. The information is all accurate and educational and is a good review for any dog owner.



3. I do telephone interviews for a New England based Boxer Rescue. Often times I discover that folks really know nothing about our very lovable, smart and stubborn breed. They only know that they have been told that boxers are a great family dog.
   Dogs frequently wind up in rescue because they are untrained and misunderstood.
   When I get through these people get told about "The Everything Boxer Book"! It is a wonderful resource. No frills at all, just good information and easy to understand.
   I have 4 rescue boxers of my own and also foster dogs for the rescue. I have found information in this book that I had forgotten more than 30 years ago!

5 comments about Boxers for Dummies.

1. We've just become the owners of a boxer pup, and used this book before and after he joined our family. The book is very easy to understand and contains a wealth of useful material. It also has a lot of general sections that would be relevant to any new pet owner. This isn't a book you would use for hard-core research, but I recommend it for the average new pet owner as an easy to read reference. It was well worth the price.



2. The book about Boxers has lots of information about the breed. Those of us who are unfamiliar with the breed, gathered lots of things that will help us in the care and nuturing of this wonderful animal! Who knew that big old grizzly looking Boxer was a sweetheart, full of affection and devotion! Great reference book to have on handle, especially if you're rearing a pup.



3. This books helps you to really know if this is the perfect breed for you, how to pick a breeder, adopting the puppy and adopting it to your lifestyle. It basically covers the life of the boxer from before you take him home to his senior life.
   
   If you are interested on the breed this is a must have!



4. Product was delivered in a timely manner and the condition was pretty much how I expected. Overall, a good experience.



5. This text does a great job at identifying characteristic behaviors and struggles when raising a Boxer. Presents matters in an understandable format for ease by any dog owner.

2. very useful book. packed full of common sense advice that is easily adapatable to your personal situation with your dog - whether he/she is a puppy or older dog.

3. Highly recommended for the prospective boxer owner. Offers a unique perspective to training the boxer and covers most facets of ownership. Lots of good practical information in terms anyone can understand. Have read the book repeatedly and glean more information each time. Will be a continuing source of reference as my boxer matures. Thanks to Joan Walker for this outstanding practical guide.



4. It is an excellent book for boxer owners. Simple, fun, full of usefull tips and information for both the owner and the dog.Good artistic job inside with many nice pictures. A great choice for those who own or want to get a Boxer. It will make both your lives easier and more fun.
