2.0 out of 5 stars MORE ADVERTISING THAN BRIARDS! HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED!!, July 6, 1999

What's cooking!? In order to understand the above, let us look at the quote which appears on the back cover of this book: "This book, illustrated with over 175 full color photos and drawings, presents sensible, easy-to-follow recommendations about selecting and caring for a Briard." What this author conveniently forgets to mention is that 3/4 of this book is comprised of GENERALIZED CANINE TRAINING & PRODUCT ADVERTISING. I was dumbfounded at how little this book actually delves into Briards. Here's the breakdown: The entire length of the book is 192 pages. 62 of which is solely focused on Briards. The remaining 128 pages deals with PRODUCTS, TRAINING & GROOMING TIPS, that can be applied to any canine breed. I was highly disappointed, considering that books on this breed are scarce as it is.

1.0 out of 5 stars Briards, April 27, 2002

This review is from: Briards ("KW") (Hardcover)

I found very little about Briards and more of a general book on dogs. I was quite disappointed actually. Since I own a briard I was looking for something specific about the breed. I have found more at various web sites than in a book on the subject!

1.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointing!, May 27, 2004

This review is from: Briards (Kw Series) (Paperback)

When chosing our first dog I researched several possible breeds and got my information from books, breeders and the internet. This is one of the books I purchased and felt very let down. There is very little information that is specific to the breed but lots of advertising, especially for Nylabone products which my dog hates. If you really want good advice from someone who knows and understands this breed, contact Briard Rescue. The lady I spoke was happy to answer all my questions, gave me the most accurate and helpful advice (on the breed and breeders) and even invited me to meet her Briards. Don't waste your money on this book. PS I did chose a Briard and she is wonderful!
