Product Description

This is the only book of its kind dedicated to the unique and powerful Neapolitan Mastiff. Given the limited amount of information available on the breed, this new book offers owners and potential owners of the Neapolitan Mastiff reliable, accurate information to help them better understand, train and raise this amazing superdog. Since the temperament, health and maintenance of the Neapolitan Mastiff are unlike that of any other breed, the keeper of a Neo must be properly informed and prepared to live with and care for this breed.

Written by breed expert Carol Paulsen, this Special Limited Edition provides the necessary facts about acquiring a puppy, ownership, housebreaking, training and behavior modification. In addition to an extremely authoritative text, this book features over 135 photographs in full color that are as informative as they are attractive. Helpful hints and important information are highlighted to provide easy access to everything the reader needs to know about life with a Neapolitan Mastiff from puppyhood to the senior years.

By	Arthur Ramirez "wizard" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Book tells you about the standard, Kind of wished it went more into the history of the breed. It does mention it. Also would of liked more old photos to compare with todays Neos. Over all its a good starter book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Neopolitan Mastiff Owner's Review, July 9, 2006

By	Rachel V. Minty "Arvieme" (Victoria, Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is particularly useful in Australia, where not much information is available and many people are not familiar with the breed. This book is however, the same book previously released by this author - with a new title!

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT SOURCE OF INFO, March 15, 2006

By	Michael V. Hinshaw (Bensalem, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is excellent. Everything I would expect from the author and publisher. The pictures are really high quality and give you a great idea of all stages for the Neapolitan Mastiff. The content is just as good and timely. There are many great tips and ideas for any new owner. Unlike many dog breed books, this one deals exclusively with our breed and uses pictures and illustratations of just the Neo. Great Job Carol!!!
