 Not as advertised November 23, 2009

I purchased this book advertised as "like new". Although it was in fairly good condition it was definately not like new. Almost 1/2 of the book and the back cover were stained and pages wrinkled as if something had been spilled on it. I realize it was cheaper than buying it new but it was not in the condition as advertised. I would think twice about buying from this vendor again.
 Great for the Bouvier aficionado August 5, 2009

Excellent book to give you a working background of your Bouvier. Very interesting and helpful information to understand the breed and its heritage in order to be a better owner and more knowledgeable about this great dog. Reads like an encyclopedia dedicated solely to the Bouvier. If nothing else, the multitude of pictures of various Bouviers is fun to skim through and helpful for grooming reference. Would have been nice though if some pictures were in color, but due to age of photos I am not surprised by black and white.
If You Love Bouviers... February 14, 2006

If you love Bouviers, you will love this book. It is worth every penny! Great history, photos, and packed all the information you need as a potential Bouvier owner or as an admirer of the breed. Pedigrees, puppy selection, grooming... it's all there. A must have if you plan to own a Bouvier. I keep mine on my bedside table... when I'm not carrying it around with me. (Yup, it's heavy.) This is the best Bouvier book I've ever found and definitely the most thorough.
 Detailed history of breed, special emphasis on police work January 14, 1999

As a new and first time owner of a Bouvier des Flandres puppy, I appreciated many of the details, historical, raising and breeding. The book emphasizes the Bouvier as a Schultzhund dog, which is the author's perogative. I would have appreciated more information on training of a Bouvier for a pet. Many dog owners desire a lovable pet not a champion police dog. The author is an important breeder of Bouviers and he has many valid points to keep the Bouviers to a standard. I myself researched breeders for several months as it is a problem. My summary statement is that the book is worth the money. If there is a revision, I hope the author will broaden his interests in the breed for the general dog owner.
The Bouvier book everyone should read December 9, 1998
