5 comments about The Case of the Raging Rottweiler {Hank the Cowdog, No 36 (Paper)}.

1. Hank 36 is a very good book.I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE!



2. One of my favorite books I have read in the past year was Hank the Cowdog by John R.Erickson. It is A marvelous book about Hank tries to fall in love with another dog he met. One of the major reasons I in joyed this book is because Hank and Drover stays ahead of the ranch security so nothing wouldn't happen to the farm or the chickens, but they decide that its time for A break from the ranch security. Another reason I found in the book to be so wonderful Hank and Drover goes out into the woods and they see four yellow eyes in the dark it was Rip and Snort. They were brothers but Rip and Snort didn't remember Hank and Drover, but Hank told them about the pit where they had parties and got drunk. Then Snort and Rip mumbled about it. Then they thought they would go we eat Hunk later and Drover for snacks then Hank said member what I told you about that don't eat friends that is bad manners. Then snort said, "Oh," but Drover ran off. when Rip seen the silage pit he ran but not snort; he stayed behind Hank. Then Hank said, "That was my chance to escape." To conclude Hank the Cowdog by John R.Erickson was truly my favorite book



3. I highly reccomend the Hank the Cowdog books if you're a dog lover, or if you just enjoy good, clean humor and fun! The books
   are written in Hank's perspective, which, I think, makes them funnier than if they weren't written in his persppective. He tries to talk "intelligent," but really he is actually quite, um,
   well, to be to-the-point... DUMB. And Hank's conversations with Drover are priceless. If you don't have this book, you really should get it. This is one of my personal favorites.

   My other faves are:
   The Curse of the Incredible Priceless Corn Cob
   The Case of the Missing Bird Dog
   It's a Dog's Life
   Every Dog Has His Day
   The Case of the Fiddle Playing Fox
   The Phantom in the Mirror
   The Case of the Burrowing Robot
   The Case of the Deadly Ha-Ha Game

   ...And too many more to list!...




4. I love all the Hank books, and this is a great one for the Christmas season. These books are hilarious and more important to the young reader, fun to read. I'd also check the rest of the series.

5. DANGEROUS DOG OR SCAREDY CAT?.THE RANCH IS IN THE GRIP OF A SWELTERING SUMMER HEAT WAVE,AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE,BRUSER THE ROTTWEILER IS ON THE LOOSE.FIRST BRUISER ATTACKS A DEFENSELESS FAWN,THEN HE THREATENS TO COME AFTER HANK THE COWDOG,THE HEAD OF RANCH SECURITY! ITS RUMORED THAT BRUISER IS ALL TALK AND NO ACTION, BUT WHEN HANK GETS A LOOK AT THE ROTTWEILERS SHARP TEETH AND GIANT BODY, HES NOT SURE WHAT TO THINK. CAN HANK PUT THIS CRAZY CANINE IN HIS PLACE? OR ARE OUR HEROS DOG DAYS BE NUMBERED.

1. I've bought a few basic books about Rottweilers to teach my dog the basics. I am very happy to say that I have a wonderful puddle, not a Rottweiler! He is a wonderful companion dog (for old ladies), not aggressive, very sociable,...etc. Do not "abuse" your dog, don't kick him, don't make him be scared of you...etc. Really? I wouldn't recommend the "operant conditioning" as described in these books, unless you want a really stupid dog with no balls at all.



2. I love this book. It is very useful and interesting for any rottie owner or any dog lover.



3. I do not currently own a rottie, but bought this book in order to get informed as to whether this would be the right breed for our family. There is no doubt the author used a template layout to the format this book. By this I mean in a number of places I can see where rottweiler was simply was put in place of say german shepherd. Not that this is necessarily bad, given that a number of breeds have some characteristic in common. The generic format aside, this is an informative book for beginners, however it could have been written in fewer pages given some of the repetitive nature of text. The four stars are based on the fact that this is an easy read (read in a single afternoon) and that it did provide me with some tidbits of new information. However, if we end up getting a rottie (which we probably will), I plan on getting a more comprehensive manual that addresses this breed in more detail. BTW... I normally do not respond to trollers, but the review by "masterlayout" is totally out of bounds. I think most folks can see for themselves that this is completely bogus. But for those of you who do not, please disregard his/her comments as to how a rottweiler should behave. As a repeat quote from a number of reputable books and websites on dogs... "there are no bad dogs, just bad owners."

1. I bought this book for my daughter because she asked me if I would get her a dog this summer and this is the one she wants. I wanted her to be educated about the breed before I got her a Rottie and I needed to find a book that could explain the major topics (history, temperment, training, and caring for) in a way she would understand. This book definitely accomplishes that and keeps her attention with all of the beautiful color photos. She's re-read the book 3 times now and can practically recite it! Guess it's off to the breeder soon...



2. I bought this book because I've owned Rottweilers in the past and plan on getting another one soon. So I read this book as a quick reminder. It's a nice introduction to the breed and highly readable, but still, one should research the breed a bit more than just this simple book.

1. If you are seriously considering making the Rottweiler your next dog, this book contains information on the how the breed started and Muriel gives you a background on bloodlines of todays breed ring competitors. I'd recommend it to anyone interested in the breed. Learn from books before contacting a breeder so that you know what to expect. The Rottweiler is a BIG responsibility and you owe it to yourself to learn more about this wonderful dog. You won't be disappointed!



2. Ms. Freeman is a true Rottweiler person and helped develop and contribute to the breed. This book is not only details the development of the Rottweiler, but also gives a great wealth of information for raising, breeding and training the breed. I consider this book a MUST READ for anyone looking for an excellent reference on Rottweilers.



3. I purchased this book before deciding if I want a rottweiler or not. This book is great with lots of info. I made my decision and will absolutely will get a rottweiler.



4. in 2009 this book gives a lot of history and universal tips that haven't changed in raising a rottweiler. The wisdon is fundemental and the pictures ae classic.

1. I believe this book is an excellent reference material to be read by any one even thinking about buying a rottweiler whether they want a puppy or an adult. It will better help you understand what type of dog the breed is and what is required of you as an owner to raise a well behaved and happy rottie. The book explains the breed to you, gives advise on what will be required of you to raise a happy, healthy, well adjusted rottie. One that will be excepted by the public and will be a loved well mannered part of your family. It explains all aspects of owning, raising, and training a rottie in clear simple form that any one will be able to understand and apply to their own new found friend. So if your interested in owning a rottweiler take the time to read this book and make sure their the dog for you before you buy that cute adorable puppy.



2. I got my Rott as a surprise gift from my wife and really wasn't sure if I was ready for a dog after my favorite dog died. And because of my misconceptions about the species, thought I should read up on them. I really learned a tremendous amount about the Rottweiller and realied what a great dog they are. Now my Rott has really shown me how smart, obedient, and loyal they are and this book really helped me with a lot of the fine points of bringing up my dog.



3. As a Rottie owner, I wish I had purchsed this book before I brought my own dog home. The discussion of the nature, training and temperment of the breed is outstanding. Emphasizing the need for building a relationship with the dog based on understanding its temperment, what it was bred for and what the dog needs, _The Essential Rottweiler_ is an excellent tool in deciding if these magnificent, loving and protective dogs would be a good fit for you, and (if so), how to train them to be happy and healthy. Highly recommended.

2 comments about Rottweiler: A Comprehensive Guide to Owning and Caring for Your Dog (Comprehensive Owner's Guide).

1. A great book for anyone who wants to understand more about Rotties but doesn't want to have to look at a dictionary to understand every other word. This book covers their history, their temperment and behaviors, how to care for your Rottie, and how to train your Rottie the simple commands. The training segment is the most informative. It walks you through how to crate train and how to give commands and even provides step by step pictures.



2. The book is just ok. It is well written and the information is clear and concise.
   
   However, I was dissapointed that most of the book was devoted to basic training and care that is generic from one breed to another. There was only maybe 25% of the book devoted to Rottweilers specifically. The rest was basic information related to dogs in general which can be found in much better books elsewhere.

5 comments about Rottweilers (Complete Pet Owner's Manual).

1. I never realized prior to now the sheer importance of proper care and training of a Rottweiler until reading this book. This book should be required reading for anyone considering raising a Rottweiler or who currently owns one. I actually felt myself doubting whether I can provide the necessary attention and fortitude that this breed requires. I have always loved this breed and the book precisely specifies why it should be loved and why the task of raising one should not be taken lightly. Every consideration for the Rottweiler is mentioned in this book, from purchasing to care and nutrition, to behavior and training. I thoroughly recommend this book for anyone considering purchasing a Rottweiler or if you currently own one.



2. I BOUGHT THIS BOOK BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER HAD A DOG BEFORE AND RECENTLY PURCHASED A ROTTIE. THIS BOOK IS SO HELPFUL. THERE ARE ALOT OF THINGS I DID NOT KNOW BUT THIS BOOK EXPLAINS ALOT ABOUT THE BREED. THE ONE THING I LIKED ABOUT THE BOOK IS IT ALL ABOUT ONE BREED AND NOT ABOUT THE DOG FAMILY.



3. I didn't learn anything more from this book than what I learned from my dog trainer. Don't buy this is if you are looking for something more advanced.



4. I will keep this short. Having never been a rott owner this book has taught me alot. Very educational about rottweiler's. The book is detailed in most areas from breeding to late adulthood.
   
   Must buy for first time rott purchase.



5. The book is great with a lot of information regarding the rottweiler. I had purchased other books but were of a general purpose. I wanted something more specific for the breed. There are a lot of useful ideas. A lot of the info is on the internet but this books has it all compiled for easy reference.

1. I must say that I stumbled upon this book ... about a month and a half ago. A thorough examination of the book provided me with an absolutely great read. Unfortunately, It does not cover every aspect of raising the breed in great detail. However, if you are just beginning research on Rottweilers, reading this book will give you a VERY SOLID FOUNDATION to support your future reading. Your understanding of breed characteristics, history, specific training methods, and even terminology will increase by leaps and bounds. For prospective Rottie owners, this book is a "must have!"

   Best wishes and happy reading,

   Will Marple




2. I have a small number of dog books, and this is the most fun one to read! Sure, I totally reccomend it to anyone who owns or is interested in getting a rottie. They are great dogs with wonderful personalities if given the proper environment to grow up in. This book helps you to do that for them, so it is a plus for you and your dog. Easy and fun, that is the best way to learn.



3. This book is well written and contains more than enough information for beginners and most advanced dog owners. If you are considering getting a Rottweiler and want to know what to expect, get this book. If you already own a Rottweiler, this book has excellent tips and hints on the care and well-being of your dog. Thank you to Richard G. Beauchamp for an excellent book.



4. I recommend this book for all rottweiler (and or mix breed) dog owners. The history of the breed will give you a good understanding of the dogs nature. It is quite interesting. The training hints and tips are very helpful. I injoyed reading and following the tips in the margins of the pages. Training will only inhance the dogs loyalty and companionship.



5. This is a very good book. Not too long and not too short. It was everything you need to know about the rottweiler from puppy care to training. I purchased other books that are rottweiler specific but this is the book that I always come back and look at.

5 comments about Training Your Rottweiler (Training Your Dog Series).

1. This book has very brief and to the point chapters. I have owned dogs for over 20 years but this book gave good insight to why particular behaviors occur and how to modify the behavior. This book offers practical training and obediance methods that even beginner dog owners can follow and understand.



2. Have had rotties for the last 25 years and this time I wanted to use a different approach in preparing for our new rottweiler female pup. This book has certainly identified areas one should be aware off with regards to puppy-proofing the home as well as getting the pups attention from an early stage onwards. Many Rottweiler specific traits are discussed and I have found to be extremely helpful. This book is easy reading and a terrific resource for any serious Rottweiler owner.



3. I am thoroughly impressed and completely satisfied with this book. I bought it based on customer reviews and they were right. It is very good at specifically describing many of the nuances of Rottweilers. Don't let anyone tell you... "all breeds are the same it's just the way you train them." Most rotts have similar tendencies. This book was very helpful in preparing me for each stage.



4. The book is short but to the point. It has all the info you need for the rottweiler breed. From puppy care to training the book has it all.



5. We got a rottweiller from the shelter. He is a year old, and this book is definately geared toward puppies, and purebred rotties. Useful information though.
