Customer Reviews

More about how to care for a dog and not as much about pointers!
I read the reviews - I should have taken them seriously. We adopted a pointer from the shelter and knew nothing about the breed. Have found more out on the internet than this book. More about how to care for dog in general.

German Shorthaired Pointer (Kennel Club Dog Breed Series)
From the photo on the inside front cover to The back inside cover. I doubt that you will find anyting you do not like. This Book is totally up-to-date That is what makes it so great. You are not reading a book that was how they did it in them Good Ole Days. The info and photos are all for todays German Shorthaired Pointer. If it misses anything I for one do not know what that maybe.
