Based in the experience of the author with nordic breeds her "scientific approach" is that dogs are happier if leaved alone to play with other dogs and do not need humans at all.

I was LIVID after reading that book. Dumb, stupid owner endangering her dogs for the sake of 'scientific research'! I believe it was a best seller when it first came out!

The worst part of the whole book - when a beta female was allowed to have her litter on the authors bed and then the alpha female came in and killed the pups.

I wanted to wring the authors neck!!

Why didn't she just observe wolves? I feel as though that would have better fit her research rather than forcing dogs to revert back to that lifestyle since they aren't entirely suited for it anymore.

I think my puppy's broken: he's not psychic.

I'm wondering if anyone has read the book "My Dog Tulip" (about a German Shepherd.) I read that one when I was a kid and even I knew better than that guy about how to care for dogs!

I recently bought two older books on the German Shepherd at a book sale. One was published in the 1960s the other I think was from the 70s. I mainly bought them for the dog photographs but so far what I've read didn't seem too bad. I'm hoping I can get my scanner working so I can put some of the photos on the forum.
