Editorial Reviews

Review
"…a "coffee-table book" in size and appearance, but far or than that in content" -- (Kit Brown, Giant Matters)

"…this extremely well illustrated book should be on the shelves of every Schnauzer owner, judge and club library…" -- (M.R.D., Dogs in Africa)

At last we have available what Giant owners have awaited for many year; a really good book, in English, that deals authoritatively and completely with the Giant Schnauzer. That Johan Gallant's new book, The World of Schnauzers includes similar information on the Standard Schnauzer and the Miniature Schnauzer is a bonus. From the fronitispiece drawing and first photograph of all three sizes together, through the early Schnauzer history and the early Schnauzer history and later chapters full of detailed information for the new or prospective owner, the author examines the similarities as well as the differences between the three breeds, giving real meaning to the first sentence of our Giant breed standard: ..a larger and more powerful version of eh Standard Schnauzer. --(Kit Brown, Giant Steps, the magazine of the Giant Schnauzer Club of America)

Mr. Gallant's book is wide ranging, covering all three varieties of Schnauzer. Chapters on the Standard, Miniature and Giant Schnauzer in the United States have been contributed by Cynthia Lorr, Marcia Field and Sylvia Hammarstrom, respectively. In addition there are chapters by Storm Bergin on the Working Schnauzer Federation and Melissa Barlett on Puppy Personality Profile.

Having covered the history of the Schnauzer varieties well illustrated with diagrams and contemporary illustrations. Mr. Gallant looks at acquiring and caring for your dog. He goes into far greater detail than a number of authors by looking at the psychosocialogical development of the dog and its place in the pack (family). He is also the first author I can remember who has stepped into discussing the sensitive areas of Cropping and Docking, and emotive subject if there ever was one.

The backgrounds of various International and national organizations such as the Pinscher-Schnauzer Klub, Kennel Club, American Kennel Club and the FCI are examined which makes for an excellent general background knowledge of dogdom. --(M.R.D. - Dogs in Africa)

Product Description
From miniature to giant, and from the United States to Europe and South America, the author examines the breed in all its aspects. Topics include puppy selection, breed standards, grooming, history and the development of the breed along with detailed information on the Standard, Miniature and Giant in the U.S., performance events, working trials and more.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book available on Schnauzers, March 26, 1999
By A Customer
This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in Schnauzers. Mr. Gallant has been a breeder for over 25 years in the Netherlands and currently in South Africa. Excellent information regarding temperament, grooming, training and pedigrees. The section on the Giant Schnauzer is comprehensive and accurate. I recommend this book to all who purchase a Schnauzer.

5.0 out of 5 stars intelligent and down to earth introduction to schnauzers, July 2, 1998
By Josine van Bunge-Strörmann (Rotterdam, Zuidholland the Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This is the first book about schnauzers that I've ever read that combines European and American schnauzers in one book. There are lots of pictures of both US champions and European champions. Mr. Gallant also writes very well about temperment. I really recommend this book to every one who considers getting a schnauzer.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most comprehensive book on the Schnauzer., July 17, 1999
By Tim Nyx (krazytee@earthlink.net) (Los Angeles, California) - See all my reviews
Gallant combines experience, statistics, and photography to complete a book that gives a wealth of information on the three breeds of Schnauzers. Anyone who wants to truly know about the Schnauzer SHOULD read this book.
