This sturdy, silky-coated canine originated as a farm dog in Switzerland, where it remains very common. This book is a brand-new title in Barron's extensive line of Complete Pet Owner's Manuals. They advise current and soon-to-be pet owners on the care of dogs and cats of virtually all recognized breeds, as well as on birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, small mammals, and even exotic creatures like tarantulas and sugar gliders. The information in each book is authoritative but the language is non-technical and easy for every pet owner to understand. Every title in this series is individually written from first page to last by a breeder, trainer, veterinarian, or other animal specialist. All Complete Pet Owner's Manuals are filled with high-quality color photos and instructive line art.

5.0 out of 5 stars
excellent for Berner owners and puppy buyers,
This review is from: Bernese Mountain Dogs (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
This is an affordable, readable book that has plenty of pictures to illustrate the author's points. Information is provided to help you decide whether a Bernese Mountain Dog is suitable for your lifestyle. If you already live with a Berner, the book provides helpful hints about diet, exercise, and health care. I give this a Thumbs Up and I know -- I have lived and loved Berners for twenty years.Henry J.

Great Book,
This review is from: Bernese Mountain Dogs (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
This book is great for the first time owner of a Berner. It has lots of information. It also includes some great references.

The dog that yodels...not,
By Ashtar Command "Seeker" (Stockholm, Sweden) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bernese Mountain Dogs (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals are very basic, which some reviewers find annoying. I don't, but unfortunately the "manuals" (really booklets) are also very uneven. "Bernese Mountain Dogs" contain a lot of excellent photos of this Swiss breed, which looks like you expect a dog to look like (something of a canine Platonic form?). The text, however, is boring, confusing and badly edited. It also contains weird but unacknowledged jokes. At one point, the author claims that BMD's can yodel! Come again? Perhaps they also make excellent fondue or stay neutral in world wars? Sorry, only two stars for this one, although the previously mentioned pictures deserve four or five.
