2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing book, May 22, 2006

Honeys Owner (Sonora, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Saint Bernards (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)

I had hoped for more Saint specific advice (especially nutrition and obedience training). This book may be useful to a first time dog-owner but if you are looking for advice breed specific, this book is not it!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect dog care book, September 14, 2002

oba9873 - See all my reviews

This review is from: Saint Bernards (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)

This is the best dog care books I have ever read, it is perfect how they describe one of the best dogs that you can have. This book includes many color pictures of the St. Bernard ecspecially the puppies. It is the best book in this dog series. This is a must for soon to be or St. Bernard owner.

3.0 out of 5 stars Short..., February 5, 2010

barbie "doggy mom" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Saint Bernards (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)

It was worth the price I paid, but was not exactly what I was looking for. It was very short and couldve been more informative.
