I wish I would have bought the book before I bought my puppy

Great book with lots of personal input by Mr. Barton. I was not sure what to expect when I got my pup other than what I saw on the internet and what the breeder told me. It was all pretty on target, but in this book, Mr. Barton introduces more subtle and intersting accounts of the characteristics of the breed and now I can see all this dveloping in my own Swissy. ...
3rd copy.....

I just purchased my third copy of this book. Once I loan my copy out to friends or family, it disappears! I'm not telling anyone else I have a new copy! So obviously it is a VERY interesting and informative book. I agree with one of the previous reviewers however. When will you be writing another book?!? Thanks for the information you provide without boring us with unnecessary details.
Must have for swissy owner!

Very informative with detailed photography of the GSMD.

As a prospective dog owner, looking for the perfect breed is difficult, but Mr. Barton's explanation of the GSMD and his high-quality photography easily convinced me that the GSMD was the right choice. If you have never heard of the GSMD, this is also a great way to learn of how the breed was saved from near extinction. What a loss that would have been! Easily readable and enjoyable, this book made my decision easy. Job well done.
unbelievable quality of photography
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
I have never seen a book with such high quality photography. As opposed to other books I have seen, this book really allows you to see the markings of the individual animal. As Swissies are tri-colored, this seems to me to be especially important. Well done. I sat and read it immediately from start to finish.
