Good for beginners, like myself
This is a great book for beginners, like me! I’m probablly going to buy a boxers soon and it was very good with the basics.
I got this book used so it wasn’t a big deal, but only the first half deals with boxers. The second half is a comprehensive training, health, and general care section for dogs. Only problem is there are hundreds of pictures, but not of Boxers! Boxers have their own training and health problems that this book didn’t cover. I think if the info was going to be generic there should have at least been pictures of Boxers throughout. Worth the used price though.

A good book for someone wishing to learn the basics
I read this book in a little over 2 hours and found it to be well written and informative, especially since I’ve never owned a dog.
I am. I read this book before my Boxer, Bubba, was born. Author Stephanie Abraham has bred boxers for 33 years. She has also been a judge for 21 years and is on the Board of Directors of the ABC. This book covers total care basics (i.e., feeding, grooming, health) and specific Boxer traits, training and a chapter by a Dog Fancy columnist. Includes list of recommended reading and resources.
