But when mutual understanding further enhances that bond, you have the makings of a partnership that is very special indeed. In <I>Understanding the German Shepherd Dog,</I> John Cree draws on a lifetime's experience as both owner and trainer of German Shepherds to explore the psyche of this very familiar but so often misunderstood breed.
