5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Introduction to Swissies!, January 1, 2000

This review is from: An Introduction to the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog (Paperback)

Shannon did a fantastic job of "introducing" Swissies. The book is a great primer -- if you're interested in learning about this beautiful breed, this is the best place to start. There are other books out there with more beautiful photos, but the text is fluff. This book, however, is less concerned about portraying Swissies as the "perfect family dog" than portraying them honestly with simple, truthful information that is easily assimilated by any reader.

4.0 out of 5 stars As the title states: a good introduction, March 21, 1999

I found this book a good resource for breed-specific information. It contains several mentions of specific problems (in some cases, non-problems) to keep an eye out for in this breed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction to this rare breed of dog., July 28, 1997

A great book for those interested in the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog (Swissy's). After reading Ms Hennigan's book, you'll no doubt fall in love with this fine breed. She covers most topics, what to look for and look out for, temperment, health, etc. The only thing missing is a resource for locating breeders - check the American Kennel Club for that info
