Almost anyone who has ever owned a German Shepherd will have experienced the very strong bond that can exist between the human being and the dog. But when mutual understanding further enhances that bond, you have the makings of a partnership that is very special indeed. In Understanding the German Shepherd Dog, John Cree draws on a lifetime's experience as both owner and trainer of German Shepherds to explore the psyche of this very familiar but so often misunderstood breed. Not only is this book an important source of reference for the new owner, but also provides even the most experienced German Shepherd handler with a fresh perspective.
