 Good general reference on Newfs March 31, 2008
Kim (Kentucky)
I bought this book in addition to several others prior to getting my Newfoundland puppy. I loved the pictures and thought it was a good general reference on the breed. The chapter on grooming was especially helpful. The comment from another reviewer that the author lacked direct experience with the breed puzzled me since the last page indicated she had owned Newfoundlands for 25 years. If you are looking for in-depth information on training your Newf for rescue work or water trials then you should look for other resources. If you want a general reference on the breed, then you can't beat this one for the price!

Our family just adopted a Landseer Newfoundland and this book was amazing in it's info provided and helpful tips. It is set up so that you can quickly refer to items as you need to. Our puppy, Dudley, has benefited tremendously from the info in this book. And, our family appreciates the courageous and noble ancestry of the Newfoundland breed thanks to this book!

I agree with the others who were dissapointed by this book. If you know anything about giant dog breeds, then reading this book will add little to no information. There aren't many breed-specific facts about the Newfoundland, and the facts that are there are very general and could apply to any giant dog. I will keep looking for better sources.

This book has been a great guideline to the breed. Sometimes people buy a dog just by it's looks but do not realize that the breed has lots to take in consideration. With the book it will give you just that.The purchase of this book has made me understand that grooming is very important.

This book is small and has nice photos. It has general information about overall dog care. It does not have alot of specific information for the newfie breed that I was particularily interested in. It is short and would be an good book for younger adults.
