Needs an editor May 2, 1999 10 out of 12 found this review helpful
I looked forward to reading this book and found it lacking for something that calls itself the ultimate book. There is much better elsewhere. Amazon has a great collection, check them out before you buy this one--if needs an editor.

Unprofessional effort October 4, 1998 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
This book and its authors have produced a book that lacks good research and provides little insight into the breed's shortcomings. As another reviewer has noted, it even lacks an index. To call this the best book on Mastiffs is a disgrace to the noble breed. I have found at least two others at Amazon that are clearly superior and another I own, that is out-of-print, unfortunately, would leave this book in the kennel. Even the quality of the photographs is poor.
Dated material lacking current relevance. June 26, 1998 7 out of 8 found this review helpful
This book has some nice photos and drawings that may help you learn about the breed, but it lacks updating and warnings about such terrible things as blindness and possible characters faults. It needs an index and sections added on such elements as rescue dog organizations and other important contacts. Lots of photos of nice dogs, but so what? Why are they champions. Captions are lacking relevant data. For example, world's money making champion dog--not one photo from the movie or why the owner was paid so much.
An excellent book on the Mastiff breed March 6, 1998 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
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.
