 Wow! May 24, 2000

Believe it or not, I found out about this book from relatives in Europe. I loved the book and pictures. I don't own a GSMD, YET, but hope to soon. As a "handbook" I find this book to be informative and interesting. Thanks Mr. Barton for your wonderful insights on the breed. Will there be a follow up book from him? I hope so!
 Nice photos; generic information May 15, 2000

The pictures are gorgeous - makes a great coffee table book. However, the info is pretty generic and a bit fluffy considering Barton's years of experience as a Swissy breeder. Looks like the editor was given too much free range on this one, and cut out everything that might have been interesting or useful.
Must have for swissy owner! May 6, 2000

Very sensitive introduction for Swissy beginners January 16, 2000

This book offers a complete overview of this wonderful and truly loving breed. There can be no doubt for whom the author's heart cares. Excellent selection of photos which tell you more than the text. A warning from a Swissy owner: These dogs are fully of energy; make them work for you, go for long walks - and you'll have a superb and devoted companion! For Swissy fans in Europe: get the book at Amazon.de or Amazon.uk.com because of lower handling costs.
Nice photography, generic content June 23, 1999

This book had some beautiful photography but like most of the TFH series of books was somewhat generic in its content. The information could have applied to most any giant breed dog and seemed to be more entertaining than informative. Considering that the author is an actual breeder of Swiss Mountain Dogs, I had hoped for a more balanced overview of the breed.
