 Very specific June 26, 2008
Other reviews were lower on this book because it is in black and white, but I didn't buy a book for fancy color pictures - I was looking for good content and I found it here. The author clearly knows a lot about Newfoundlands from personal experience. I learned many good tips on raising a newf and thought that this book was worth the buy. I read that the content in here could be found on the internet, but I haven't found anything this detailed. I would recommend it.
One of the Best February 20, 2008
A useful and comprehensive history of the Breed written by one of Newfoundland's most accomplished breeders, exhibitors and judges. Highly recommended to the new and potential Newf owner. This is one of the few books that depicts actual of photos of Newfoundlands of excellent breed type.

This book is a nice resource for Newfie owners, the only thing I was disappointed with is the lack of color pictures. It is all black and white. However, several times while reading about common traits, I thought to myself, "our Newfie does that!", so it is very accurate information, however nothing you couldn't find online if researching Newfoundlands.

I did not realiz this book did not have any colored pictures. I don't recall reading anything telling me this book was not in color. All the picture inside were in black and white and that was disapointing. I took forever to get my books form Amazon. It took 4 weeks and I also order books from privat seller through Amazon which arived much sooner then the new ones form Amazon. Disapointing.....

This is an excelent book about the breeds characteristics, specialy if like me, you are a first time newfoundland owner or if you are trying to know if a newfoundland is the best breed for you. It contains also information about newfis working abilities, if you like to know what this dogs are capable of doing and you are willing to make the best out of your dog. I highly recomend it for it's magnificent photographs: You'll get in love with this dogs!
