3 out of 5 stars More ads than Bark   January 18, 2008
I love this magazine but I am disappointed that the last half of the magazine is mostly ads. I expected more articles or pictures but still all in all it is a decent magazine about dogs.


4 out of 5 stars not for mutt owners   October 7, 2007

This is a good magazine for show dog people. Some of the articles don't pertain to me.


4 out of 5 stars Good articles, tons of ads   August 21, 2007

Dog World has much more interesting and thought-provoking articles for those involved in dog showing, breeding, performance events, etc. However, over half of the magazine is devoted to breeder ads, which is annoying. Still, overall I recommend it for the articles.


1 out of 5 stars This magazine should be called "The Breeder's Advertiser"   March 20, 2007
 15 out of 15 found this review helpful

I am a huge fan of dog magazines overall, and even generally like reading through all of the dog product advertisements that they all include, but I can't imagine who would want half of their magazine every single month devoted to a directory of breeders.

I do enjoy their "Meet the breed" feature, but I strongly wish that with this section they would also mention rescue information such as contact info for breed specific rescue organizations, which I really haven't seen included anywhere in the magazine.

The magazine doesn't have much content to it in comparison to the huge number of advertisements, and entire the second half of the magazine is just a list of breeders and breeder's advertisements. A breeder's directory seems like something that would make sense to have a special issue every six months of so for, not waste half of the magazine to every month.

I am very disappointed with this magazine and have decided to cancel my subscription after 5 issues.

I have been a reader & fan of Dog World since I had my first dogs in 1981. Being an avid dog-lover since childhood, I have always enjoyed the breeder ads & discovering breeds new to me. These days one of my favorite sections is the "rare breeds". I thoroughly enjoy the bi-annual "all breed" special issue. Although each issue does profile a breed of dog, what I like better than Dog Fancy is that the profiles are more informative & in-depth. Dog World also covers rare breeds in their profiles, not just AKC breeds. I would recommend Dog World for dog professionals & avid dog-lovers involved in dog sports; and Dog Fancy for the more casual dog people.
