Excellent Introduction to Swissies!

Shannon did a fantastic job of "introducing" Swissies. The book is a great primer -- if you're interested in learning about this beautiful breed, this is the best place to start. There are other books out there with more beautiful photos, but the text is fluff. This book, however, is less concerned about portraying Swissies as the "perfect family dog" than portraying them honestly with simple, truthful information that is easily assimilated by any reader.

As the title states: a good introduction

I found this book a good resource for breed-specific information. It contains several mentions of specific problems (in some cases, non-problems) to keep an eye out for in this breed.

Great introduction to this rare breed of dog.

A great book for those interested in the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog (Swissy's). After reading Ms Hennigan's book, you'll no doubt fall in love with this fine breed. She covers most topics, what to look for and look out for, temperment, health, etc. The only thing missing is a resource for locating breeders - check the American Kennel Club for that info
