This sturdy, silky-coated canine originated as a farm dog in Switzerland, where it remains very common. This book is a brand-new title in Barron's extensive line of Complete Pet Owner's Manuals. They advise current and soon-to-be pet owners on the care of dogs and cats of virtually all recognized breeds, as well as on birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, small mammals, and even exotic creatures like tarantulas and sugar gliders. The information in each book is authoritative but the language is non-technical and easy for every pet owner to understand. Every title in this series is individually written from first page to last by a breeder, trainer, veterinarian, or other animal specialist. All Complete Pet Owner's Manuals are filled with high-quality color photos and instructive line art.

May 15, 2009: I was looking for a book about Bernese Mountain Dogs, because I've been thinking about getting one as a pet. This book was the only one on the shelves about Bernese Mountain Dogs in the BN store, so when I saw it I thought, "Yeah, okay, what can i learn from a kids book," because that's kinda what it looks like. But it turned out to be very informative, not really even aimed at kids. The photographs are bright and colorful and really accentuate the beauty of the Bernese Mountain Dog.
