The Gentle Giant: Caring for the Newfoundland Dog Paperback – July 8, 2014

I read a lot of books about the dog breeds I am interested in. While not as comprehensive as some, this is a good introduction to the breed. The author is very clear about the disadvantages of the Newfoundland, which is essential in any dog book. No one breed is perfect for everyone.I like that the possible illnesses are discussed succinctly. It's a great resource if time is short.The author is British, but tries to include information about US dogs.If you've considered getting a Newfoundland, this is a good start. I would suggest doing a lot more research before making your decision.

I found it very helpful and needed information. It gave me good things to know if I decide to get a Newfoundland as a service dog

Good advice. Needs editing. Glad I bought it and read all the way through. Would tell others about it too.

Purchased this for our growing Newfoundland library after we got our Newfie furbaby. It is a touching and well written book, I couldn't put it down. A must read for any Newfoundland owner or lover.

This was really interesting and informative. We adopted 2 sweet sister Newfoundlands so this book was great!

A sweet little read, but not terribly informative.

Great overview and guide, especially about personality and disposition. Must read for anyone new to Newfoundland breed. Well written and you can tell author knows Newfies

Great information on the breed.

We are expecting a newfie pup and this book will be wonderful to guide us through puppyhood.

Waste of money
