A little basic but still a valuable reference for first time GSD owners May 31, 2008

Has good info on history of breed and characteristics and sections on grooming and first aid were most valuable. Section on training is useless. Buy this book if you're new to breed or about to buy a GSD.

If you are buying a GSD for the first time go to a one-on-one expert trainer. I did this and it cost about $2000 but I have a competition level obedience dog now (on and off leash, hand and verbal commands, without choke/spike/"gentle" leader collars) and he spent more time training me than he did the dog so now I can train any dog that I'll ever own by myself.
