How can you argue when it comes to dogs? This magazine has been around for a long time, and it gives what it promises. Its great. I love the resources it provides me. I've a dog owner for a long time, and I believe in the choices the magazine provides

Don't waste your money on this magazine. It is 60-70 advertisements, and the articles are not very informative. It might be appropriate for children, but not adults that are serious about educating themselves about dogs.

Dog Fancy is the world's most popular dog magazine and it is a publication I have been reading for more than ten years. I first learned of Dog Fancy when I got an offer in the mail to receive a few trial issues free of charge. Since I am a dog owner and confessed dogaholic, I gladly accepted the offer and have been reading Dog Fancy on and off ever since.
This magazine has gradually improved over the years and it now stands as one of my favorite magazines. What I like most about Dog Fancy is the fact that it makes every effort to cover something of interest to any dog owner- casual or serious- in every single issue. This is one of the reasons why Dog Fancy contains so many monthly departments. It has more departments than most other magazines and while the number might seem excessive at first, it is nice that so many different topics are covered. No matter what you want to learn, discover, or discuss about dogs, you can find something related to your interest in every issue.
Dog Fancy offers advice on dog care, tips on behavior modification, coverage of dog shows, and profiles of different breeds. Each issue of Dog Fancy features a photo of a specific breed on the cover with a full article on the inside that discusses the breed, its personality, and its characteristics. In addition to the dog on the cover, there are other breed profiles, too, and in the center of each issue is a colorful pull- out poster of the featured breeds. Kids, in particular, love this pull- out and many will want to grab it and place it on the refrigerator or on their bedroom wall.
Dog Fancy has lots of departments and features and one way the magazine helps readers find articles of interest is through its "On the Cover" diagram. This helpful feature shows a small snapshot of the cover along with arrows pointing to each article mentioned on the cover and the page to turn to find the article. This is very helpful. I cannot count the number of magazines I have read that include a teaser message on the front cover that piques my interest but then buries the related article somewhere inside. Dog Fancy has eliminated that problem once and for all with this very helpful diagram. If it's on the cover and you want to read about it, you can find the article in a matter of seconds.
Another way that Dog Fancy is very helpful is with its classified ads. Now, I admit that I don't usually look at classified ads in magazines and I rarely endorse them. But Dog Fancy has one unique classified feature: Its Dog Breeder Directory. Here, a person can lookup a breed and then quickly get in touch with a breeder. Finding a puppy is easy if you're looking for a common breed like a Golden Retriever, Poodle, Labrador Retriever, or Cocker Spaniel. But what if you want a rare breed like a Catalan Sheepdog, Sloughi, or Beauceron? These dogs and others like them are so rare it may be impossible to find one in your area. But Dog Fancy's Dog Breeder Directory helps link breeders with buyers, letting potential owners know who to contact to find the desired breed.
Dog Fancy is an informative, helpful magazine that makes a great choice of reading material for dog owners of all stripes. Whether you're a dog breeder, a dog show enthusiast, or just a casual dog owner you will find something of value in Dog Fancy. It is my favorite dog magazine and its one I recommend to anyone with even the slightest interest in the subject of canines.
One of the greatest magazines I've read August 10, 2005

Dog Fancy is an excellent magazine for all parents of the furry four-legged tail waggin' love bugs out there. It is very informative and I, myself, refer to previous magazines all the time. It's your own personal library full of information that you can use now and even in the future. I've subscribed to Dog Fancy and Dog World. Dog World is for parents who are mainly in dog shows and agility. While Dog Fancy is for the average parent who is not in the sports realm. I love Dog Fancy magazine and I know that parents who love their "kids" as much as I love mine, will enjoy this magazine as much as I do.

My mom used to subscribe to this magazine when I was growing up. I used to read it often throughout my adolesence. However I always found the magazine to be lacking. (Quality, Information.) Now some 10 years later I decided to try the magazine out once again. Since there has been some recent hype going around about it. I got this months newsstand -- April -- issue and the Special Puppy issue. I am in Love! It seems the Dog Fancy has improved by leaps and bounds since my last read. Now it contains an enormous ammount of extremely helpful information as well as stories and such to entertain you.
