Synopsis
Written from a global perspective, this work relates the Bernese mountain dog's origins as a reliable Swiss farm dog and traces its modern development as a top show contender, performance dog and treasured companion for the entire family.
Klappentext
The Bernese Mountain Dog Today The Bernese Mountain Dog, a sturdy, all-purpose farm dog, was originally bred in Switzerland. One of its jobs was herding cattle, but its main use was as a draught dog, harnessed to a small cart taking milk and cheese to the market. Today, the Bernese Mountain Dog is still used for draught work, although mainly for recreational purposes. The breed has also taken its place as an impressive show dog, and its kind, good-natured character makes it a devoted family dog. In this comprehensive book of the breed, the author examines the history of the Bernese and its spread around the world. Detailed information is given on caring for the breed, with special guidance on feeding, and training. There is an in-depth analysis of the Breed Standard, with coverage on showing and judging. Particular emphasis is placed on breeding, looking at the principles of breeding as well as the genetic defects within the breed. This is enhanced with significant scientific data which has been accumulated from worldwide sources — making the book a unique reference. Illustrated with top-quality colour and black and white photographs, this is essential reading for all Bernese Mountain Dog enthusiasts.

Beautifully illustrated with nice photos of some important dogs. Biased toward his own dogs in many ways. Good history and care chapters. Bearing in mind this man is a geneticist, not a Breeder, overall a good read.

Not for your average Newbie Berner Person

For hardcore Berner people/breeders only.
Dr. Willis is a geneticist by education and experience. He has dabbled in breeding Bernese Mtn Dogs. And he currently roams the globe judging Berners at dog show events. Obviously, it is from this lofty perspective that he writes this book.
If you want to learn more about wisely breeding Berners, or learn more about Berners on a global level from Dr. Willis' unique perspective, this book should be a good read for you with lots of useful information. For newbie breeders, this book can represent an information overload but well worth purchasing as a research resource.
Dr. Willis does give a 'nod' to the average pet owner with useful information like feeding and training. However, if you are an average Berner Pet owner or new buyer, with no aspirations toward breeding your dog, 2/3 of this book may be relatively useless information for you. If this is you, spend your money on a different and better book for newbies in Berners.
Also, an experienced Berner breeder/exhibitor/researcher must be prepared to deal with (and look beyond) the very apparent arrogance that permeates this writer's work to the value of what good information is definitely presented (for the most part).
I will say that a good portion of the genetic and other breeding related information presented here is above what may be found in other hardcore Berner books.
If you're a Berner breeder, this book is a MUST HAVE as a reference.
If you're an average Berner person, another Berner book will probably be of more use to you.
