Book Summary Information

Book Reviews of The Doberman Pinscher

Book Review: Excellent Book
Summary: 5 Stars

Thank god there are some authors out there that feel a need to discuss the breed characteristics, unlike the large portion that like making a quick buck. This book at least talks about other topics if that's not what your into. Like other reviewers I like reading the different views of other countries about the breed. I was very happy to see the information about the difference between German and US standards about the breed.

I personally think showing any dog that performs some form of working task cripples the breed if can't keep the same breed instinct it was breed to do, but that's just my opinion. Clearly I'm more into the German working standards, so therefore I greatly appreciate this book. I'm also greatly interested in reading some German books about this breed if I can find one translated. If any readers of this are into the same views as myself than they might want to as well.

I don't agree with everything the authors think, but I at least like what they discussed. German Dobermanns are no longer what they used to be, and many of the breed regulations are no longer. I don't like the UDC as much as I like the SDA. It's too bad they didn't discuss much more about sport trials for protection work, such as The Ring sports and KNPV. There are still some good kennels out there, but not many.
