Summary: THE MASTIFF, AN OWNERS GUIDE TO A HAPPY HEALTHY PET
Comment: I found this book extremely informative. I found it helpful in the area of what to fed a mastiff puppy. It was a book our whole family enjoyed and will continue to enjoy. Another book to purchase along with this one, is Mastiff by Kim Campbell Thornton, this book is also very helpful. The book to avoid is Mastiff Aristocratic Guardian by DeeDee Andersson, I found the book had a lot of filler and was not helpful in the feeding area and was a great diappointment.

Rating: 5
Summary: the gentle giant
Comment: I thought this book was extremely informative and accurate. There are not that many books about mastiffs available and I thought this book gave many details, especially about puppy care and what to expect. I would definitely recommend this book.

Summary: A Wonderful Guide for the Potential or New Owner
Comment: If you've ever seen this book on the shelf, you've probably also noticed several other breed-specialized 'Owner's Guides' books by this publisher. Although it may seem template-ish, it is that very feature which makes this book a reliable and informative read. It's written by experts who have done the research, and people who have taken an interest in these kinds of dogs.

I chose to purchase this book when I had several inquiries about the Old English mastiff breed (i.e., their history, sizing standards, feeding and grooming needs, ideosynchrasies, and also general care for dogs). Among its highlights is a section that covers the advantages and disadvantages of owning mastiffs. This is a very important feature, particularly if you're looking into the possibilities of large-breed ownership.

Those who already own an Old English mastiff, or who are interested in rare 'mastiff' breeds such the Neopolitan, Dogue de Bordeaux, or Tibetan mastiffs, will not find this book particularly beneficial, and should look elsewhere.

All in all, I consider it a great book for mastiff enthusiasts and potential owners alike, because of its well-taken photographs and up-to-date info on such a majestic breed.

Happy reading!
