No help at all.......2007-08-26
This book could possibly be helpful to people wanting a show dog, but if you intend to use your Great Pyrenees for what it was bred for, guarding livestock, it is no help at all. I bought the book hoping for some advice in correcting my two Pyrs' bad habits like digging and chewing. The book basically said that my dogs chew because I hurt their feelings by leaving them outside and not letting them in the house. Puhleese.
All the information you could ask for.......2005-09-09
I bought this book searching for information on the Great Pyrenees Dog. I was in the process of buying a puppy and wanted to know everything I could about the breed. This book answers all your questions and some you wouldn't think of asking! Kim Lansley has put together one of the best Pyrenees books on the market. Very well put together and informative. The pictures are beautiful and the layout wonderful! I would highly suggest this book to anyone interested in buying a Great Pyrenees Dog.

Show dogs only.......2007-08-01
This book is only of any real value to someone who is going to show their dog,
great.......2002-04-23
This book is wonderful! If you are thinking about sharing your life with a walking hairball... i highly recommend it. Very informative. If you can get your hands on a copy, it's well worth the money.
The Great Pyr Bible.......1999-12-22
I have owned this book for seven years, and it was what sold me on buying a Great Pyrenees. A Great Pyrenees is a wonderful breed, but not for everyone. Please read this book before buying a Great Pyrenees. I have read this book multiple times,for it is the "Great Pyrenees bible". Other Great Pyrenees books were of no value to me. Paul Strang's book has helped me better understand my big, walking "snowdrift".
Very good but lacking in the training part........1999-07-24
Very good but lacking in the training part. The book refers to other training books but those books talk about Dogs in general not about big dogs with traits like digging, barking, roaming, etc. Other than that the book is a good buy for all interested in buying a pyr. or those who have pyrs already. I recommend it.
A most informative book with plenty of photos worldwide.......1999-06-01
I purchased this book having already owned a copy of the earlier edition. I noted photos and information had been updated from many countries however no request was received for updated information from New Zealand which for us was disappointing and I was re-reading the NZ segment from the first edition. Apart from that this book contains much history on the Breed, where the Pyrenean originated from, what he was used for and how he arrived from France his country of origin into other parts of the World. There are many beautiful photos, the 3 Standards are all detailed and the Health articles most informative. This book would be one of the most comprehensive books available on Pyreneans including much content on the Breeders' of yesteryear to whom the Breeders' of today owe so much. The chapters on breeding, selecting a puppy and grooming along with caring for your Pyrenean are invaluable to the person who may wish to own a Pyrenean one day and to the current Pyrenean owner. I would recommend this book to any Pyrenean enthusiast to add to their Library.

Customer Reviews:
good pyr book.......2007-05-22
this was a great read, it had a few differences in what I'd read elsewhere about pyrs, but was still very informative and had good pictures, as well as an extensive section about illnesses your pyr can get.
Must Have for a Pyr!.......2007-01-23
This book is absolutley wonderful! History, training tips, and a no nonsense Pros/Cons approach to Pyr ownership. I would highly recommend to anyone who has or is thinking of getting a Pyrenees. A wealth of knowledge on this wonderful breed, in a small, easy reference book.
Informative.......2006-02-24
I found this and the two other books relatively helpful in understanding the breed's origin and purpose as livestock guardian dog. There are however some misconceptions in the book. The emphasize neutering/spaying the dogs, which if researched properly owners would understand how damaging it is to the dogs. Also, I wish they included info about raw diet. It is much better and healthier for the dog. Also, you need to know your dog. Too much exercise as is bad as they grow, however the dog tells you when it's tired, they fall over and just sleep. I have taken our pup for 1-2 hour walks since we got him and he is fit and healthy. No problems. Talk to your breeder, they should be familiar with their breed and be the best source for information.
GREAT HELP FOR GREAT PYR OWNERS.......2003-04-19
Owning a Great Pyrenees is not a simple task, but this slim volume was tremendous help in preparing for caring for a Pyr. Pyrs are huge, beautiful animals with some special needs, and no owner should acquire a Pyr without some professional guidance such as this book. It is one of the few, really well-written guidebooks for Pyr ownership available, as this is not one of the most popular breeds in this country.
Great place to start.......2002-08-18
I really enjoyed this book as a good place to start gathering information about the great pyrenees before making a final puppy purchase. The pictures were great and i have enjoyed looking at them several times!
Book Description
This title features the best of Catalonia and neighboring regions (including Bilbao, the Basque Country, the Rioja wine country, and Pamplona), featuring Barcelona, Dalíland, the Costa Brava, and Daurada.
Customer Reviews:
Good descriptions but useless as a driving guide.......2007-04-12
This "driving guide" lacks a detailed map of the region it is describing. Instead, it provides the suggested tour maps in various parts of the region. However, those maps lack clarity and sufficient detail as well making them useful only if one drives the exact route described in the text. Therefore, the book is rather useless as a driving guide, but can be used to supplement a regular map because it has informative descriptions of various points of interest.
Book Description
This Comprehensive Owner's Guide provides and entertaining and informative look at the Great Pyrenee's origins in France and the US and an insightful look at the breed's characteristics and standard.
Customer Reviews:
Good Start.......2006-11-03
Good for the beginner looking to buy these breed. Great Pyrenees is a challenging breed for even an experienced owner. Good start book but talk to breeders for more information.

Customer Reviews:
A Cheap Introduction?.......2001-05-18
While this book is not the most expensive on the market, it appears to have been created from a 'boiler-plate' of a series of canine books. Rather too much of it is not specific to Great Pyrenees. We have owned several Great Pyrenees and, from time to time, need information from reference sources. This book does not fall in to that category. It can be classified as "Read through it once and then never refer to it again".
There are several other Great Pyrenees books on the market that more adequately describe the requirements of owning one of these large dogs. Andrew Jonson's attempt to address all matters relating to Great Pyrenees falls well short of the mark.
This is not a book to recommend to potential or existing owners. Probably okay for children
Introduction to the breed with general dog care advice.......1999-03-10
For the price, this book covers enough of the basics of the breed to give you an idea if the dog is worth a more-detailed research. The 'care guide' section (which takes up about 1/3 of the book) is very general, it can apply to any dog. This book alone is not enough for any serious research. If you're seriously considering the Great Pyrenees as a pet you will need a better reference book, like The New Complete Great Pyrenees, also found via Amazon.

Book Description

Most authoritative source for craftsmen, artists, designers, decorators, and students in search of authentic material. 166 plates.
Customer Reviews:
This book is a big waste of money........2006-01-11
This is an art history book. If you are wanting stencils for atristic application, don't waste your time or money on this one- the only stencil you will find is on the front cover. The rest of the book is MAJORLY BORING HISTORY, and photographs of stuff with stencils on it. Not too useful to a comtemporary artisan. In addition, it is not one of the copyright free Dover books. I give it a big thumbs down.
If you want authentic early American add this to your collec.......2001-05-18
I originally checked this book out of the library - I fell in love with it despite it's limitations and ordered my own copy. The photo's are old and grainy and almost all b/w. It's still great - it shows entire wall patterns and even entire walls. Most designs photocopy acceptably enough for enlargement for you to duplicate. Covers walls, floors, furniture and theorems, including photos of actual stencils used by William Eaton.
Book Description
Celebrated illustrator, veteran mother, and beloved daughter Mary Engelbreit has created a beautiful and poignant tribute to the one woman most deserving of our affection and gratitude-Mom! Motherhood has been an endless source of inspiration for Mary's art since she joined the ranks of the weary but willing. Mothers are their children's nurturers, heroes, booboo fixers, cheerleaders, confidantes, entertainers, and first loves. No one is as adept at depicting these many facets of motherhood as Mary Engelbreit. In this beautifully produced keepsake-with its cloth cover, gilded edges, quality paper, and ribbon marker-you'll find excerpts from classic literature such as Little Women, contemporary prose from authors such as Alice Walker and Anna Quindlen, beloved songs and lullabies, and for the first time ever, the true story of Ann Estelle, including family photographs. Mary has liberally illustrated this treasury edition with never before published art. Every fan of Mary Engelbreit will want this classic for their own collection-and several extras for the mothers and grandmothers in their lives.

BEAUTIFUL tribute to mother's!.......2003-05-12
I was lucky enough to get this book for Mother's Day. What a beautiful treasure it is! This solid hardcover has a satiny ribbon mounted in the binding to mark your place & it's page edges are shimmery gold. It's loaded with the whimsical art of Mary Engelbreit along with lots of stories and poems written by multiple authors.
This is one of the most delightfully beautiful books. I feel fortunate in owning it and will derive hours of pleasure from it. When the day grows hectic, it's a delight to pick it up and remind yourself of what really matters in life. It would make a wonderful gift for your mother or any special mother you know, even a new mom. A truly wonderful book!
Mother O' Mine is a Treasure Trove!.......2002-02-14
This book is the perfect gift for any mother, especially yours! It's jampacked full of touching and cute poems, artwork, thoughts, stories, and quotes. I bought this for my mother, and she loved it.
wish I had sent this book to my mom.......1999-05-19
This Mother's Day 1999 I received this book and it is filled with wonderful thoughts about mom. The art work is great. So many things I wish I had thought to tell mom all in one tiny book.
