5.0 out of 5 stars Probably the best book on Newfs, March 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Newfoundland (Pure Bred Series, The) (Hardcover)

This book goes into extreme detail on the breed. It handles all aspects of the breeding standard. It has a great chapter on the history of the breed. I can recommend this book to anyone who has a Newf or wants to ne owned by one.

This is one of the best books ever published about the Newfoundland breed. The drawings of structure and movement alone are worth the price! Great for the long-time Newf lover as well as a beginner.

This review is from: The Newfoundland (Pure Bred Series, The) (Hardcover)

At last! A book that describes, quantifies and illustrates what makes the most beautiful of dog breeds beautiful.The "COMMENT REGARDING THE STANDARDS" and "MOVEMENT" chapters should become the standards themselves."One remains enraptured before a beautiful dog as one does before a beautiful painting, and one never tires of looking at him. Thus, to study the anatomical substrata of the powerful neck or the noble expression almost appears to be mixing the sacred and the profane.", Mrs. Bruno states. But she manages it, and in what way! A true expert.
