5.0 out of 5 stars Best book for serious Berner owners, 27 Nov 1998
By A Customer
The history of Bernese Mountain Dogs in America, their breeders and specialty show records set this book apart from the rest. If you own a Berner and want to learn about his ancestors, get out his pedigree and go to work. If he has distinguished ancestors, you'll find their pictures and records here. Extremely useful for those wishing to learn to pick good Berners. Illustrations make the breed standards clear and show common faults. Is your dog good enough to show? Do you think you are becoming serious enough to consider showing for confirmation or obedience? What about breeeding? With three Berners under foot, I refer to this book more than any other in my dog library.
