First Edition. First Edition. This is from the dustwrapper: "The Rottweiler, one of the most imposing and impressive of all breeds, has a worldwide fan club. Originally used for herding and protecting cattle on their way to market, this German-bred dog was soon adopted as a guard by security forces in countries far away from its… native home. However, in the right hands, the Rottweiler also makes a superb companion, particularly for those who want to train their dog to compete in Working Trials, Obedience and Agility events, or in the more specialised areas of Herding and Carting. The Rottweiler's handsome looks also ensure its success in the show ring. In The Ultimate Rottweiler, Editor Andrew lbrace has recruited a star-studded cast of specialists to write the definitive book on the breed. For the first time in the history of the breed, experts from Germany, Britain and the USA, have pooled resources to give the most comprehensive coverage of the Rottweiler today. Starting with in-depth research into the origins and development of the breed, the breed experts go on to analyse the Breed Standard in detail, and there is a special feature - The Judge's View - where a British, a German and an American judge make a pictorial critique of six different Rottweilers.The importance of training and socialisation is emphasised throughout the book, with contributions from top trainers and handlers, helping the Rottweiler owner to understand his dog, and to train it to reach its full potential. Leading experts give detailed information on feeding, genetics, health care and inherited conditions, and there is a special feature on breeding and rearing Rottweilers, illustrated with top-quality photographs tracing a litter from birth to eight weeks.The Ultimate Rottweiler is lavishly illustrated with more than 200 colour photographs." 288 pages, 8.25 X 11.25 inches. Very good book in a very good dustwrapper.
