Good general reference on Newfs

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!

Extremely Helpful!

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!

Newfoundland for the first time

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.

Terrific Book

We purchased this book, among others, to research Newfs in deciding whether they're the right breed for us. Both my wife and I continue to enjoy this book which offers more information than we presently need (e.g., information on birthing Newfs which we don't intend to do).I don't consider myself to be a dog or Newf expert but I did previously own a Samoyed and don't believe one can substitute, in this book, "dog" for "Newf" as previously suggested by the reviewer from Chicago. For one thing, jogging is NOT good exercise for some dogs. It's interesting to me that the reader from Chicago was not able to extract more useful information from this book.I found this book to be very Newf-specific and offer significant value to the reader. The pictures are great - the kids loved them too. The book is concise, reads easy and is well written.To the author: thank you for sharing your wealth of information.

Informative

I thought the book was informative. It covered a lot of the basics for me in researching the Newf.
