Book Description
Massive, noble and majestic, the Newfoundland possesses an instinctive desire to bond with humankind, sprouting from his instincts as a water rescuer. The seafaring "gentle giant" remains close by man's side as a helper and companion both on land and in the water. As the breed's colorful history relays, the Newfoundland has excelled as a fisherman's helper, a water lifesaver, a canine postman, a draft and carting dog, a show dog and on and on! For the owner requiring a biddable companion dog, whose devotion and friendship with man are unsurpassed, the Newfoundland is an ideal choice. This new colorful book provides everything an owner needs to know about the Newfoundland and its ancestry, character and standard, as well as puppy selection, feeding, grooming, basic obedience and housebreaking. The author also discusses various activities in which the Newfoundland excels, including water tests, agility trials and dog shows. Illustrated with over 135 color photographs, this comprehensive owner's guide will be relied upon consistently for its coverage of health concerns, allergies, parasite control, senior-dog care and more!

The first chapter of this book on this history of the Newfoundland was good, but after that I felt like the authors used pretty much the same material, inserting the name of the breed they were writing about. There was a lot of generic info on dogs, with mentions that Newfoundlands are big (duh). The pictures were nice, but I didn't really buy the book for the pictures. I was not impressed.

I can't belive how long it took to get this book. It was a nice book and I'm glad I got it but I will most likely not be purchasing a book through Amazon again. Postage on used itams was way to high. And the new items form Amazon took weeks to get to me.

I found this book very well written with a lot of very good basic information for reference on the breed. If you need to know the basics about Newfoundlands I'd recomend it highly..........Tim Brennan - Tempe, AZ

I thought that for someone who is learning and researching the breed of the Newfoundland for the first time, that this book could be a very helpful and practical handbook in the A-Z art of owning a Newfie. The language and how-to-steps of everything from crate training a pup to bathing and clipping the breed's claws is very accessible and I would certainly recommend this book to anyone who is considering owning one of these highly intelligent and loyal breed of pedigree.
