Introduction: "This book brings together basic and specific knowledge about the Bernese Mountain Dog, including information on its history, development, personality, and training. You will learn what to look for when choosing a puppy, how to breed and whelp, how to groom and use grooming tools, and how to care for and feed this very special breed of dog. If you are a novice Bernese Mountain Dog owner, this book will help you grow in knowledge about the breed, and if you are an experienced breeder and exhibitor, you will find a depth of information to make this a valuable reference. A lifetime of activity is open to you as the owner of a well-mannered Bernese Mountain Dog. In addition to conformation and obedience competition, you can participate in carting and therapy dog service. And, maybe the best of all, you can take a quiet walk in the woods or through the neighborhood with your friend for all seasons - the Bernese Mountain Dog."

A beautiful book about gorgeous dogs!,
By emfdvm "emfdvm" (Oakton, VA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Beautiful Bernese Mountain Dogs: A Complete American Handbook (Hardcover)
I had a great Berner as a companion for 10.5 years before she died. This book is a wonderful tribute to the breed with a detailed history of the breed in this country. It will need to be updated to remain current with activities in the breed, especially genetic testing that is ongoing, but is does a great service to pet owner and breeder with its great descriptions of the standard and discussions of other pertinent matters for breeders, owners, and admirers.

Comprehensive book w/Great Photos and Information,
By Moonrise "Berner Lover" (Washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Beautiful Bernese Mountain Dogs: A Complete American Handbook (Hardcover)
This book has lovely photos and very detailed information about the Bernese Mtn Dog breed. Newbie Pet Owners will be impressed by the information and photos, but may find about 1/2 of the book to be relatively useless for them. However, this book should be incredibly useful to serious Berner people wanting a comprehensive study on Berners in the USA, along with top quality breeding information and study. The sections on USA Berners, breeding and showing information is incredibly nice to have to study and as a ready reference. This is a wonderful, lovely and very well written book that every Hardcore Berner person should have!

This review is from: The Beautiful Bernese Mountain Dogs: A Complete American Handbook (Hardcover)
This book is a fascinating history of the BMD, very thorough and from an American perspective, although there is lots of European info too. It gave me crucial information on why I need to get a puppy, so beware, all those pictures make you want one. Great book, well written and a joy to see many pictures. I was really interested in the early history, and it talked a great deal about it!
