When i first started reading this magazine i was sooo excited . it had alot of interesting things in there but the more i read it the more uninterested i become ... alot more things in my mind are becomming sort of boring

Pros: some of it was great

Cons: some of it i wasnt into

Dog Fancy is a mag that I like to read. They have good stories in every issues. There is also a featured breed which is nice to read if you are interested in adding to the family.

I do not like all the ads. More than half the book is ads and most are of breeders. Volunteering for a HSMC, I would rather folks opt to adopt.

I will continue reading Dog Fancy for now. Not the best dog mag on the market, but not the worse.

Pros: good stories

Cons: half ads

I've been a loyal subscriber to Dog Fancy magazine for 20 years or more. I look forward to it's arrival in my mailbox every month.
The articles are informative and the photography is beautiful. The children's page is a nice touch as are the reader submission pics . One of my favorites is the story on the last page which is always of a special dog written by it's owner.
The only downfall is the amount of ads and the fact that they have so many breeders listed in the back.
They have a disclaimer that they don't research the breeder's listed and that concerns me.
Not that I would ever purchase a puppy or dog from a flashy ad sight unseen but there are people that are gullible and don't know any better.
They need to push adoption and rescue and take a strong stand on informing the public about the reality of designer dogs ( high price tag for a mutt ).
For the most part a magazine worth the subscription price...just needs some tweaking here & there.

Pros: Informative,has excellent photos

Cons: too many ads,way too many breeders listed

I like the stories in dog fancy mag. They have some wonderful articles on different breeds. I just don't like having about 1/3 of the mag be ads for breeders.

Pros: nice stories

Cons: ads for breeders

I love the articles on nutrition and new advances in the Vetinary Sciences.

Pros: Many new products reviewed, books etc.

Cons: Should be more on shelter dogs
