1. 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.



2. 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

1. 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.



2. 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.



3. I recently adopted a Great Pyrenees puppy and have never owned one before. This book was very helpful in understanding the breed better. The book has great pictures and information that I found very relative to the questions I had about this breed. There were a lot of tidbits I had no clue about that were brought to light such as these dogs will dig a "bed" to lay in to guard their territory. Totally explains why we keep finding holes in our front yard. Would recommend to anyone thinking about adopting their first Great Pyrenees.



4. I thought the book was well written and very informative... I am new to the breed, and was looking for as much information as possible on training and care, and this book had it all, plus some things I didn't need like information on showing.



5. Very interesting and informative book for new Great Pyrenees owners and those not familiar with the Great Pyrenees breed.

1. 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.



2. This book is only of any real value to someone who is going to show their dog,



3. Although it could use some color pictures and another update. This book is very useful to understanding this ancient magnificent breed.



4. I have a number of other Pyr books that people had rated well that I felt were actually lacking. This books however, is just the oposiite, and is, I feel, the best book available on the breed and the most well-written of the available books on Pyrs.



5. this is a great book with everything you need to know about the history of the breed. most books are pretty general this one is more specific on the great pyr

1. I actually don't think that one must be a dog lover to enjoy this story. What a gem! Both children and adults will be moved by this special tale. Though it is a fictional work, it is interwoven with a bit of lore that rings of truth. It is this charming quality that lends it the air of a genuine, old world legend. Worthy of a spot on any shelf of beloved stories!



2. I love Great Pyrenees. We had 3 but lost our 10-year during Christmas 2008. We have a puppy on her way to join our other two. This is a good book for children, very basic, cute.



3. I gave this great book to friends who have just adopted a Great Pereneze (sp??) and they loved it! There are so few books written in story form about this breed.
   This one told a lovely story and shared such great true information about this breed. It is a real find!!

1. My girlfriend and I are going to spend a bit more then a week in Catalonia and I love to drive. I had higher hopes with this book. I expected more of a list of destinations with cities inbetween where a person must stop and learn history,shop, explore, hike etc while providing the user with the most enjoyable/scenic routes.
   Unfortunately, It did not live upto my expecations. On the plus side it has some nice pictures and the information is in simple format with large print. It has added to my growing understanding of Catalonia. I would say it is a decent book.

5 comments about Great Pyrenees Owners Handbook (Volume 1).

1. This book is highly recommended to every potential or current owner of a Great Pyrenees.



2. First of all, the author Joseph B. Gentzel, is brilliant when it comes to Pyr's. We have a signed copy of his first book and met him at the Ohio Great Pyrenees National this past May (2008). The book, being brand new, will make an excellent keepsake for many years to come. I was overwhelmed when I first met this breed (8 all came at once to receive pets), with my fiance, who was ready to take on the showring. But since March '05, when we picked up our first puppy, which was pick of the litter by a breeder in Cave Creek, AZ, I have been in love with this breed ever since. We also took home his Mama and have since purchased another show quality puppy. They are beautiful dogs to love and cherish always.



3. I bought this book as the other reviews raved about the book. I was disappointed. The book focuses more on the history and geographic aspects of the breed. That's great but when the entire book centers around that theme it takes away form other topics that are important. It isn't so much of an owners handbook as it is a historical account of the breed. I have a Pyr and will be looking for another book...



4. Overall the information in the book is good; however, I feel the book is extremely overpriced for a paperback.



5. This is a poorly written, poorly edited book. The writing is amateurish, similar to a poorly constructed school essay. I was hoping for practical information as I am a new owner of a Great Pyrenees puppy. It focuses mostly on the history of the breed and practical owner information is a small portion of the book towards the end.

1. 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.

1. 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.



2. I bought two books when we adopted our Pyr from a rescue clinic. We knew a little about the breed traits, that were reaffirmed in this book. Great pictures and easy to read. You will be glad you got this instruction booklet.



3. I love this book. After adopting 2 baby Great Pyreness puppies, this book helped me understand them in a way I would have never known. They are beautiful dogs that have lots of love for there owners, however they like to have a lot of land to roam, and have a big barking issue. This book taught why they bark so much, it is because they are WATCH dogs, and they feel the need to bark in order to protect there heard/Owners. Great book!



4. If you own a Pyr or are considering one, you need this book. It provides the history, standards and what to expect when you own this breed. I love my Pyr, but it is not the pet for everyone. This book will help you decide if it is right for you. If you already own one, it is very interesting and has some nice pictures of these beautiful dogs.



5. Informative and had wonderful pictures to go along with info. Would recommend for sure! Better than some out there.
