[.ca] A New Owner's Guide to Miniature Schnauzers (ISBN 0793827965)

Very helpful for a beginner:
I bought this book because we were considering getting a new puppy and were interested in Miniature Schnauzers. I liked this book because it gave a brief history and evolution of today's dog which helped me understand more fully the personality of the Miniature Schnauzer. It also answered my key questions about selecting a puppy, as well as, crate training and housebreaking. The book will give you a general feel for what will be needed to appropriately care for this breed. I feel that after reading this book, I can better converse with breeders and am more informed. Since I haven't read any other books specific to the Miniature Schnauzer, I cannot compare to other sources. But I have found it more than adequate for my current need - preparation for purchasing a puppy. One final comment, the book has glossy pages and has plenty of supplemental color photographs. I particulary enjoyed the photographs of a variety of dogs of this breed - it helps me tremendously in the selection process.

BY FAR THE BEST MINI SCHNAUZER BOOK!!!:
I ordered several mini schnauzer books to contrast and compare, and let me tell you, this one is by FAR the best. It goes into detail about so many aspects of the schnauzer that most books don't even come by. I highly recommend it!!
