The Boxer

Rating:
Summary: Good for History and Showing, not much else
Review: This book is not a complete overview of the boxer in any meaningful sense. While it does have occasional chapters which apply to boxers in general, the majority of this book is devoted to history of the breed and information on showing the dog. Most of the generally applicable information on the Boxer was hopelessly biased, with the general portrayal being that Boxers are born dignified and noble. The entire first 150-160 pages are nothing but history of famous boxers and similar information. If this is your cup of tea, you'll love this book. Personally, I'd hoped for a little more practical information.

Summary: The Boxer by Anna Katherine Nicholas
Review: This has to be one of the best books on the market about Boxers. Everything this former show judge says about the breed is right on the mark. The most concise & complete guide recording the history of the breed. A "must buy" for those who can only afford one book. A great addition to an existing library. The author speaks in terms that the layman can easily understand. Great Book.
