The Newfoundland (The Pure Bred Series)

By Emmy Bruno

Book Overview

The author has devoted herself to the study and dissemination of information about Newfoundlands since 1970. Breeding under the prefix of 'the black angels' her knowledge has made her an internationally recognised expert. She was the founder and president of the Newfoundland Club of Italy, established in 1976, and in 1985 became an international judge of the breed. The Newfoundland covers a great range of subjects including breed history, the standard, disposition, breeding, movement, work and treats in-depth the study of type and the relationship between structure and function. It has been expertly described as not only a historical-scientific study of Newfoundlands, but something more, a human experience lived day-by-day with loving care for the breed.

couldn't be better

I have read,almost cover-to-cover Emmy Brunos book and it is, by far the most comprehensive book about ANY breed I have ever had the pleasure to read. She has lived with and bred these wonderful animals most of her life and shares most of her knowledge with us, the reader. I could care less about the pictures being black and white, get a good calendar if thats what you want, its the information that is so critical that she gives, and her love of the breed which oozes from every page. Her knowledge is vast and she holds nothing back. I have gone back to that book time and time again for many many answers that I have had. I recommend this book highly and a good calendar for pics if neccessary.

A Must Have for the true Newfoundland Lover

This is one of the best books ever published about the Newfoundland breed. The drawings of structure and movement alone are worth the price! Great for the long-time Newf lover as well as a beginner.

Most comprehensive and enjoyable book ever about Newfs

Amazing book! As a new owner of a Newfoundland, this is my bible! It is apparent the author truly adores her dogs! Big book and covers all topics that owners may be interested in!

Excellent! Magnificent! The best of all Newfoundland books!

At last! A book that describes, quantifies and illustrates what makes the most beautiful of dog breeds beautiful.The "COMMENT REGARDING THE STANDARDS" and "MOVEMENT" chapters should become the standards themselves."One remains enraptured before a beautiful dog as one does before a beautiful painting, and one never tires of looking at him. Thus, to study the anatomical substrata of the powerful neck or the noble expression almost appears to be mixing the sacred and the profane.", Mrs. Bruno states. But she manages it, and in what way! A true expert.

Probably the best book on Newfs

This book goes into extreme detail on the breed. It handles all aspects of the breeding standard. It has a great chapter on the history of the breed. I can recommend this book to anyone who has a Newf or wants to ne owned by one.Ries
