5 out of 5 stars A superb book - highly recommended   November 13, 2004
  5 out of 5 found this review helpful

This is the best book about dogs in general and Daxies in particular that I have held in my hands. Don't let the title fool you - this is a book that, while written in plain English, will teach you a multitude of things - how to care, train, and bond with your Dax from puppyhood to old age. I have already recommended it to any dog owner I know, regardless of their breed, because many of the things inside the book are applicable to all breeds, not just the Daxies. I highly recommend that you add this book to your cart, you will not be sorry you did!


3 out of 5 stars Only OK--just a formula   June 29, 2004

This book is a cookie cutter type of book where they insert the word "dachshund" where ever the breed of dog is supposed to go. It's about 95% general dog information and about 5% dachshund breed specific.
(It's probably not just dachshunds, either, but for dogs that are "earth dogs"--meaning digging type of dogs, be they dachshunds, beagles, terriers, etc.) It's about what you would expect from a "Something for Everyone" Dummies book.



5 out of 5 stars A must have for every dachshund owner   October 10, 2003

This book is wonderful for the first time owner of dachshunds. Very informative, easy to understand and fun to read. The writers are very delightful in their description of the unique personality of the playful, vivacious and often mischievious dachshund.


5 out of 5 stars Must Buy   October 28, 2002

This is an awesome book, you can tell that the writer has a lot of experience with this breed. It discusses all options of anything mentioned (mini vs. standard, natural care vs. traditional,rescue vs. breeder etc.) and if you buy nothing else, buy this book. It has information on everything from training to choosing your puppy and all of it is specific.


5 out of 5 stars The only Dachshund book you'll ever need   October 6, 2002
  13 out of 13 found this review helpful

Until I bought this book, I didn't realize that taking care of my new Dachshund wasn't just like taking care of any other dog. This book tells you all the unique and individual things you need to know to keep your Dachshund healthy, happy, and to train him, plus it's got a lot of great general dog information, too. This is the only Dachshund book you'll ever need!
