The Great Pyr Bible,
By Marie (Franklin, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The New Complete Great Pyrenees (Hardcover)
I have owned this book for seven years, and it was what sold me on buying a Great Pyrenees. A Great Pyrenees is a wonderful breed, but not for everyone. Please read this book before buying a Great Pyrenees. I have read this book multiple times,for it is the "Great Pyrenees bible". Other Great Pyrenees books were of no value to me. Paul Strang's book has helped me better understand my big, walking "snowdrift".

5.0 out of 5 stars
A most informative book with plenty of photos worldwide,
By A Customer
This review is from: The New Complete Great Pyrenees (Hardcover)
I purchased this book having already owned a copy of the earlier edition. I noted photos and information had been updated from many countries however no request was received for updated information from New Zealand which for us was disappointing and I was re-reading the NZ segment from the first edition. Apart from that this book contains much history on the Breed, where the Pyrenean originated from, what he was used for and how he arrived from France his country of origin into other parts of the World. There are many beautiful photos, the 3 Standards are all detailed and the Health articles most informative. This book would be one of the most comprehensive books available on Pyreneans including much content on the Breeders' of yesteryear to whom the Breeders' of today owe so much. The chapters on breeding, selecting a puppy and grooming along with caring for your Pyrenean are invaluable to the person who may wish to own a Pyrenean one day and to the current Pyrenean owner. I would recommend this book to any Pyrenean enthusiast to add to their Library.

Excellent reference for novice or expert to the breed.,
This review is from: The New Complete Great Pyrenees (Hardcover)
Very interesting and full of history and details of the breed. Anyone new to the breed will learn more from this one book than you can find on the web, libraries, and bookstores - combined. If you're thinking of owning one of these dogs , this book will (innocently) do more than sell you on it, it will convince you it is the only breed. Wonderful historical re-counts, anecdotes, pictures galore, etc. Well worth every penny.
