Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Thomas has written a comprehensive study of the pug dog, from its origins in 1751 B.C. to the present. She covers every phase of owning one: from selecting a puppy to caring for an older dog. As a breeder/judge, Thomas looks for good breed type. In her role as judge, she interprets the standard and explains how she selects winners. As a breeder, she offers suggestions on how to choose sires and dams to improve the breed and eliminate common faults and congenital defects. An excellent choice to round out a dog-breed collection or to update old material. Recommended.

A good book for the Bernese owners,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Bernese Mountain Dog (Hardcover)
Very real book that helped me to understand my dog's behaviour and character. I wish I had read this book before I had my Bernese.

Foundational Book for Berner People,
By Esther Wilson (Montana, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Complete Bernese Mountain Dog (Hardcover)
Foundational book for everyone who is owned by a Bernese Mountain Dog. It is written in an easy-to-read manner, is fairly comprehensive and is a quicker read than some of the other Berner books available today.I recommend this reading for anyone seriously interested in acquiring a Bernese Mountain Dog or for those who own BMDs and want to learn more about the breed.
4.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: The Complete Bernese Mountain Dog (Hardcover)
This book has a great background on the Bernese Breed. The description of the personality is perfect - it was like reading about someone describing my own dog.
