"As a whole, the reader finishes this book with a tremendous admiration for those breeders, trainers, handlers, club members, judges, and trial secretaries who have given so much to a sport that gives working dogs the opportunity to be the best that they can be. Even those of us who may never train Schutzhund would like to have dogs with the qualities displayed here." - GSDCA - WDA Newsletter

Within this award-winning coffee-table book are 370 amazing full-color photographs displayed on professionally composed layouts. The photographs are the work of 26 professional and amateur photographers from around the US, plus a few pictures from Europe.

Schutzhund or Dog Sport involves three phases: Tracking, obedience and protection work. It also is used as a breeding standard to produce healthy, strong and talented working dogs worldwide. There is just enough text to explain what you are seeing, but mostly what you will see are pictures, pictures, pictures!

As this is a labor of love, all net proceeds from sales of the book after out of pocket expenses will be donated for the benefit of the sport.
