1 Star Totally Disappointed
I bought this DVD hoping that it would help me groom my bichon at home. I had my doubts about it when I took it out of the box and saw the cheap graphics on the DVD cover. It starts off showing how to bathe a dog for which they use an Australian Shepherd – they could have at least used one of the dogs featured in the rest of the video. This segment seems to last forever with its terrible, repetitive music and narrator who seems extremely bored as he describes the various scents available in shampoos. The narrator is hard to understand and is almost drowned out by the bad music. The DVD continues on to drying, clipping, ear cleaning, and nail clipping. They show the groomers using various brands of clippers but don’t really tell you what blade or comb size they are using. The groomer uses scissors on the face and paws of the bichon, but they don’t tell you the size and type of scissors. Also, it would have been helpful if they would have demonstrated grooming each particular breed from start to finish. Instead, they jump between the poodle, maltese, shih tzu, havanese, bichon, and cocker spaniel in each segment and identify only a few of the breeds they are working on. A little more detail from the narrator during the clipping would have been nice too. This DVD is basically just watching someone groom a dog while listening to annoying music with a few comments from a narrator and some written instructions (some with typos) flashing on the screen. Needless to say, I am continuing my search for another, hopefully more informative DVD.

1 Star Returned it, but never got a refund.
This DVD provided hardly any information at all beyond just watching the groomers. These groomers (or a voice-over) should have been explaining WHAT they were doing in detail. There was no indication of which blade they were using on the various dogs and the reason for that choice; we didn’t get to SEE a detachable blade being changed out or the pros and cons of detachable vs. fixed blades; there was no discussion of the difference among the various brands of clippers available on the market; no discussion of attachment combs or why they used scissors at times rather than clippers, etc., etc., etc.

Finally, I thought the groomers were a little too rough with the dogs, and the tables and environment a little shoddy (and let’s not forget that large scab on the one groomer’s arm that we kept seeing over and over), and I never saw one of them disinfecting their tools before working on a dog. PLUS, the “brand new” DVD came with fingerprints on the play side and hung up during play in one section. All in all, a VERY unsatisfactory experience.

Because the DVD was defective, I asked them to send me a return label, but they did not. They said I would get a full refund, but after I returned the DVD, to this day (4 months later), they have not refunded my money. My emails since then have gone unanswered.

1 Star Waste of time and money
I buy a fair amount of items on Amazon. This is the first time I have bothered to review an item. This DVD in my opinion is not worth the money or time I invested in it. The quality is very poor. Sometimes out of focus and shaky. The narrator sounds like he is bored and he doesn’t even say that much. Apparently you are supposed to learn by watching without much instruction. There was annoying music playing over and over and sometimes made it hard to hear the narrator. Another thing…if you’re going to show a closeup repeatedly of a groomer’s arm how about putting some makeup on the big scab she has. Not everyone cares to see that sort of thing. Probably what bothered me most was they showed you what to do if you cut a dog’s quick while trimming their nails – I got the distinct impression the groomer cut the quick on purpose for this scene.

1 Star Who is Dobe Mann?
This video started out well enough, and then started taking a turn for the worse. In one interview with an “expert” dog handler showing Doberman Pinschers, she stated that the breed was started by a man named Dobe Mann. At that I went into hysterical laughter and almost fell out of my chair.

In actuality the Doberman Pinscher was developed and perfected by a man named Louis Doberman in the late 1800′s. Wow, who would have thought of that? It was “started” by many different people. The breed is really a mix, like almost all purebred dogs. It is a cross of the German Pinscher and a lot of other type dogs. The German Pinscher looked like a smaller solid version of his grandchildren.

Many of the exercise requirements of the different breeds are simply ridiculous. How can a Golden Retriever or Labrador Retriever call for less exercise than a Mastiff? I’m afraid to tell you that if you decide to go run with your Mastiff for a couple miles on a sunny Saturday afternoon, you will need to also have the energy to run to get two people to help you carry your 190 lb. Mastiff to a vet for emergency medical care.

Basically this DVD is good if you want get a dog and you would to see pictures of different breeds. But it only has about 50% of very accurate information. If you are not a dog “expert” already (and know better), it can give you an erroneous view of many breeds.

1 Star This is not for someone looking for a PET dog or accurate info.
I agree and shared the laughter with the other reviewers. My favorite error was on Great Dane where she said there are six colors recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC) and proceeds to list only five. Stop, reverse, play again. Yep five. Interesting.

However, my problem is that I want a pet, not a show dog, and from looking at the cover and the title I was led to believer that’s what I’d learn about on this DVD. Those cute pet type dogs in the picture aren’t what’s on this DVD. If you’re looking for a show dog this might be an okay (and funny) DVD to watch. I’d never heard of or seen a lot of the dogs on this DVD, which made it somewhat interesting and worth the one star. Seems like it was shot in Canada and not the U.S.

You’ll do a LOT better off surfing the net for breed information than watching this DVD.

1 Star A dog breed misinformation fest
I agree with the first reviewer – there are a startling number of inaccuracies in this video. The Dobe-mann thing got me too – it is obvious to me that the producers of this video did not seek out the best representatives of the breeds. The woman speaking of behalf of the Doberman breed is frankly embarrassing – her grammar!

I too was astonished at the incorrect information given for exercise requirements. A mastiff needs the highest level of exercise – higher than a Labrador Retriever?? Ridiculous. A pug needs no exercise at all?? I think that is an irresponsible thing to say – all dogs, no matter what breed, need walks and excercise.

Some other notable moments from this video include the Miniature Schnauzer ‘expert’ stating the breed orginated in England, the Rottweiler ‘expert’ saying the breed was from the German town of ‘Rot-wale’, and watching a growing wad of spittle emerge from the mouth of the German Shorthair Pointer ‘expert’ as she spoke.

There are numerous other inaccuracies/strange moments I won’t bother to mention. The best way to watch this video would be to do so with it muted – that way you are seeing the best part of it – the dogs themselves – while weeding out all the misinformation by the breed ‘experts’.

5 Stars Thought it was great.
Just like the title said, it helped our family find the right dog for us!
