Great

This helped me learn about the

An excellent book on the Mastiff breed

If you only read one book on the Mastiff, this should be the one. A wonderful presentation of the history, nature & information on owning & raising a Mastiff, from the foremost authority in Mastiffs in the world today.

This is the most comprehensive book on the Mastiff breed.

Betty Baxter, a renowned breeder and owner of the Farnaby Kennels in the U.K. has teamed with David Blaxter of equal caliber and knowledge on the breed, to write the most comprehensive book on the "gentle giant". Limited text is spent on history of the breed. Instead, she and Mr. Blaxter focus on the Old English Mastiff's traits, personality, conformation, breeding, and rearing. The illustrations provide visual understanding of good and bad characteristics to look for. Additionally,they include discussion on common diseases of the breed, nutrition, behavior, obedience and showing. Many excellent photos of mastiffs are peppered throughout the book making it superior to all other books on the mastiff breed
