 Pretty good book May 27, 2000

I found this book interesting but a little dry when discussing some topics. I liked the exmples of the dogs pictured. Over all, it was worth reading and looking at the pics, but it took a long time to get through. Could use some more interest-holding sections throughout.
 Excellent Introduction to Swissies! January 2, 2000

Shannon did a fantastic job of "introducing" Swissies. The book is a great primer -- if you're interested in learning about this beautiful breed, this is the best place to start. There are other books out there with more beautiful photos, but the text is fluff. This book, however, is less concerned about portraying Swissies as the "perfect family dog" than portraying them honestly with simple, truthful information that is easily assimilated by any reader.
 Fairly interesting. Nice effort. March 31, 1999

Text is cold and clinical. Could be improved upon with more personal information and experiences. Great looking dogs in the photos, but sure could use more of them.
 As the title states: a good introduction March 22, 1999

I found this book a good resource for breed-specific information. It contains several mentions of specific problems (in some cases, non-problems) to keep an eye out for in this breed.
Great introduction to this rare breed of dog. July 29, 1997

A great book for those interested in the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog (Swissy's). After reading Ms Hennigan's book, you'll no doubt fall in love with this fine breed. She covers most topics, what to look for and look out for, temperment, health, etc. The only thing missing is a resource for locating breeders - check the American Kennel Club for that info
