2.0 out of 5 stars Not great..., January 14, 2009

H. Greeson "H. Olejnik" (California) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Great Pyrenees Owners Handbook (Paperback)

I bought this book as the other reviews raved about the book. I was disappointed. The book focuses more on the history and geographic aspects of the breed. That's great but when the entire book centers around that theme it takes away form other topics that are important. It isn't so much of an owners handbook as it is a historical account of the breed. I have a Pyr and will be looking for another book...

1.0 out of 5 stars Not very helpful, February 26, 2009

Dog Owner (Long Beach, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Great Pyrenees Owners Handbook (Paperback)

This is a poorly written, poorly edited book. The writing is amateurish, similar to a poorly constructed school essay. I was hoping for practical information as I am a new owner of a Great Pyrenees puppy. It focuses mostly on the history of the breed and practical owner information is a small portion of the book towards the end.

This review is from: Great Pyrenees Owners Handbook (Paperback)

Overall the information in the book is good; however, I feel the book is extremely overpriced for a paperback.
