Summary: out standing
Comment: I have always ben interested in mastiffs,this was the first publication that I have purchased,and I was pleased with its different approach to mastiff keeping.
The only fault that I could find was on adivising people not to take in a rescued Neo,which I found to be ill founded from my own personal experience with this wonderful breed.
Overall a well written book,with personal expereinces,which made it funny at times. Although I do wish that there were books that covered bloodlines with pictures covering five generations at least.

Summary: Leaving something out
Comment: This book is a must read for the person who is thinking of acquiring a mastiff breed for the first time! But, I must say, that I had already narrowed my choice down to the Dogue De Bordeaux, and the information on this breed was very sparce! I am most concerned about temperment, and how these dogs will get along within a family environment with other animals. The crux of the information dealt with health problems (which, of course, is important!), and the history of the dogue. It is very apparent that the author has had experience with the Bullmastiff and Neopolitan, as these breed descriptions are the most comprehensive. I wish that the breed bios had not been so biased! As information on the Dogue is almost nonexistant, I was hoping that this book would offer something more!

Summary: Disappointing-this book is only OK
Comment: I really looked forward to getting this book but when I finally settled down with it I was disappointed. It lacks real depth and it DEFINITELY lacks breadth. This book should be titled "Random Facts and Vague Histories of Some Molosser Breeds". The book has left out WAY too many breeds to deserve its title. Many of the sections were lacking substance, especially the Fila Brasileiro, Tibetan and Spanish Mastiff sections. The author did do a good job covering the Mastiff and Bullmastiff, but there is a ton of literature out there already on those breeds. More focus on the rarities please!
