5.0 out of 5 stars "THE" book for Neopolitan owners., July 21, 1999

By A Customer

As an owner, breeder and trainer I absolutely fell in love with the Neo. I have trained for Schutzhund, French Ring, Personal protection, and Handicap assistance. The Neo is one of the most intelligent animals I have ever worked with, but they are not for everyone. Dr. Allen tells it like it is and is up front and honest about the breed. I disagree with some minor points, but the book is 99% accurate. Read this before you fall in love with and buy your first puppy and you may save yourself heartbreak down the line.

3.0 out of 5 stars Lots of information but heavy-handed advice, July 19, 1999

By	Brian Majewski (brian@colorbus.com) (Vancouver, WA) - See all my reviews

While the book provides a lot of in-depth information regarding the breed, with lots of wonderful pictures, Dr. Allen often presents the breed in a negative light. My impression is that she wants to warn off the casual buyer, and for this I can forgive her. Owning a Neo is not for the faint-of-heart. My advice: Get the book and be aware of the issues she raises. Then - be pleasantly surprised when your Neo turns out not to be the aggressive monster she describes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent presentation, March 14, 2000

By	Deidre (USA) - See all my reviews

Neapolitan Mastiffs are by far my favorite breed and Dr. Allen has done a wonderful job with her very informative book. She cuts to the chase. In doing so, hopefully, the casual/careless buyers will be ware. We don't want any more Neo's in rescue shelters.

2.0 out of 5 stars pretty pictures- misguided philosophy
great photos of dogs from around the world. the writer does a great disservice to the reader and the breed by extolling hypothyroidism.
