Customer Reviews

More ads than Bark
I love this magazine but I am disappointed that the last half of the magazine is mostly ads. I expected more articles or pictures but still all in all it is a decent magazine about dogs.

not for mutt owners
This is a good magazine for show dog people. Some of the articles don't pertain to me.

Good articles, tons of ads
Dog World has much more interesting and thought-provoking articles for those involved in dog showing, breeding, performance events, etc. However, over half of the magazine is devoted to breeder ads, which is annoying. Still, overall I recommend it for the articles.
