German Shepherds - Dog Books for Kids Table of Contents Introduction Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Conclusion Author Bio Introduction "Money will buy a pretty good dog, but it won't buy the wag of his tail." ― Josh Billings German Shepherds are intelligent, versatile and faithful dogs. They have outstanding characteristics, and excel in almost anything they do. This breed is well known and among the 10 most popular breeds in the U.S. But, what makes them so popular? To begin with, their skills extend beyond the home. They are used in law enforcement, serving with police and even the military. They also help with special needs. For example: With those who are handicapped and require constant attention. However, their skills do not end there. Does the name Rin-Tin-Tin ring a bell? He was quite famous and appeared in many movies and shows. He was so popular he received hundreds of fan letters, sometimes thousands per week! And after the World Trade Center disaster, faithful German shepherd dogs risked their lives to comfort rescue workers and help find those who were missing. German shepherds are also excellent watchdogs. Their alert and often suspicious nature, can serve to protect both you and your family from strangers. However, this aspect of their personality may not appeal to you, if you are looking for a more guest friendly dog. This breed has a high energy level. Originally when this dog was first bred, it was for working purposes. The idea was to help herd flocks, get them into groups and so on. This all day task helped to shape a strong and high energy dog that requires a lot of activities to keep their attention. It is important to take note of this part of their personality. Why? Well, if they do not get the attention they need their boredom (even frustration) will shine through, with lots of barking and chewing. Depending on how loud it gets, it may drive you up the wall! Despite this aspect of their personality, there is no doubt German Shepherds are amazing dogs, and a wonderful asset to any home. And with proper training and loving attention, they will stand by you through thick and thin. Not a bad description to add to the list of… man’s best friend!

Book Description
Originally published in Germany in 1923, “The German Shepherd Dog in Word and Picture” is the English translation of what is probably the most important book ever published on this popular breed. This volume is highly recommended for owners and breeders alike, and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: “The Shepherd dog and Herdsman’s dog, their Origin and Relationship”, “The Nature and Service of the Shepherd Dog”, “Breeding”, “Rearing”, “Judging”, “Training”, “Kennels”, etc Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.

Book Description
Today's dog food industry is producing hundreds of dog food formulas for the market. This industry has also tested many different breeds of dogs for their nutritional requirements. Results of this testing were published in 1985, showing such a wide range of nutritional requirements that we now know one food cannot be correct for all dogs. Yet, to date, no one from any of the dog food companies has come forward to tell us which breeds might react adversely to their food. This has left most dog food buyers in the position of having to experiment at home in order to find the best food for their dog. Too often this type of experimenting has had disastrous results. But now the dog food buyer has a tool...this book can help all dog owners match their dog to the right food. Recommendations in this book are made by the nutrient sources found in most commercial dog food formulas, and not by brand name or with any bias or brand loyalty.
