The Dog Gone Good Library

[DogGoneGood]

What's on YOUR book or DVD shelf? This includes training and story type books and DVDs (that are about dogs). If you'd like to write your "wish list" as well, go for it!

There's a couple on my shelf I haven't read, but the majority I have. Some books I've found and would like to read out of curiousity but not for education (like Koehler's book), and others I just haven't had the time to read but they are on my list. There's also a couple I'm in the middle of, but they spend more time sitting next to the bathtub than actually getting read (such as Dogs Behaving Badly and War Dogs)

Trust me, there are pleanty more movies I'd like to buy, but I either have had trouble finding them or they're out of my price range. Books seem to be less expensive and I tend to buy more training books and such for the information value.

Wish List:
I will be getting the "Marley and Me" movie DVD when it comes out.
I would like to get some dog history books, like how they became involved in evolution.
I would also like to get some dog nutrition books.

Evolution and Nutrition are two big interestes of mine (if you hadn't noticed from my lists ). One amazing one that's all about the pet food industry and natural nutrition is "Food Pets Die For" by Ann Martin. I don't think it's actually on my list, because I can't seem to find the darn thing (I have a feeling I lent it out).

If you're interested in behavior and emotions of dogs Stanely Coren is a great source. Also, his book "The Paw Prints of History" is a good one that has to do with how dogs have affected people who ended up playing a big role in history and if it wasn't for those dogs those events may have never occured. It was a very good book, informative and entertaining. I learned more about history in that book than I ever did in school lol

I still haven't seen the Marley & Me movie I will though! Some day...

As far as breed books go, I have more big books about 100+ breeds and then a few breed specific books. Oddly enough, I have no books about Labs or GSDs and those are two of my favorite breeds I'd love to have a library some day filled with a lot of breed specific books, but every time I see one I want to get I think "am i seriously going to read this?" and the answer is usually no, so I don't spend the money on it. However, in my line of work you need to know your breeds pretty well, and it wouldn't hurt to have a lot of books to look into when a certain breed comes up that I don't know anything about. Then again, that's why the internet was invented
