Geared more towards professionals than pet owners

While I like Dog World, I think it's geared more towards professionals, such as breeders and showers, instead of pet owners. For example, there are columns on show grooming, breeding, and dog showing. I've seen several articles on topics such as choosing a stud dog and building your own kennel, rather than topics such as cleaning tips and training good manners, things that pet owners should know. While pet owners can enjoy Dog World, I would recommend Dog World to professionals and Dog Fancy to pet owners.

Rare Breeds in Dog World

I recommend Dog World it lists rare breeds of some
dogs, not like others that dont have them listed.
I'll keep subscribing for the rest of my life. Keep
up the fine work.

more expansive in topics covered

Having recieved both DogFancy and DogWorld, I prefer DogWorld. I have found that DogFancy tends to focus more on purebreds and AKC events than on the general, everyday mutts of America and what the owner of one can do with them. As an owner of a shelter mutt, I appreciate DogWorld's emphasis on the world of dogs- their nutrition, health/care, exercise, and varied news paragraphs. I especially like the column on agility training- it is as beneficial to agility persons as well as great advice for any other sport- flyball, obedience, herding/hunting trials, etc. since all sports deal with pretty much the same mental and physical aspects. I also really enjoy the different sports they highlight in each issue. The only thing about DogWorld that bothers me is its series articles. If you don't follow one series to completion you get confused and sometimes the series are more geared to the professional world (veternarians and trainers) than to the 'regular' folk. DogWorld gives a much more rounded view of the world of dogs and what can be done with them than DogFancy which tends to focus on more of the breeding side of the world and AKC.
