Great Boxer Book
Author Stephanie Abraham put out another great book in 2000. Enough readers & critics enjoyed it to have it earn the same year’s “Dog Writers Assoc of America” award. It’s a handsome hardcover book with 220+ crisp pages. Pictures on just about every page. Abraham is dedicated to the Boxer breed. She speaks of the Boxer with admiration as only a Boxer owner could. She writes well and in easy to read fashion. Topics include caring for, general health, choosing your Boxer and traits to look for in a puppy, history, basic tips in training… and so much more. I refer to this book constantly. This is a very thorough book and anyone who owns a Boxer should own it. The only thing it doesn’t mention – the older your Boxer gets, the more he slobbers. My family (including our Boxer, Max) is better off for it.

A MUST FOR THE BOXER LOVER
“The Boxer: Family Favorite” is one of the first books purchased when I decided to bring a boxer puppy home. Very well written and a wonderful source of information on the breed. I revisit it from time to time since I now am owned by two beautiful Boxers. I always recommend this book to other Boxer enthusiasts. It is a beautiful book and a great hommage to the breed. Highly recommend.

A book for boxer lovers
Gorgeous photos. I have read many books on Boxers so the info about their lineage did not reveal anything new but I purchased it for the photos and it did not disappoint.

Nicely put together
I mostly got this for the photos–I adore Boxers. But it also has some very thoughtful information included that can be very helpful even to someone who’s owned a Boxer for a while.

The Boxer
This is a great book. Wonderful photos. All inclusive. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in this breed. I just purchased a boxer and I found it informative and very helpful to get a good understanding of the breed. This is a great coffee table book also.

Currently ready this book. Every word is so true. Love the way the book is written, especially from folks that have raised and have Boxers for 30 years. Boxer is their best friend. You will love the book if you have any thought of owning , (or being owned) lol by the world comedian pup.

After a long wait I finally got the book. The content is excellent but the printing quality is really bad. It looks as if it was printed on a home printer(and not a good one).
