Item description from seller

The New Complete Newfoundland is a comprehensive guide to the Newfoundland dog breed written by noted breeder and fancier Margaret Booth Chern. The book examines the history, development, and characteristics of one of the world's largest and most respected working dog breeds. Drawing on decades of breed experience, the author traces the Newfoundland's origins and evolution, including its association with fishermen, water rescue work, and heavy draft duties. The text explains the breed standard in detail, covering structure, movement, coat, color, temperament, and physical features that distinguish an ideal Newfoundland. Particular attention is given to the breed's renowned gentleness, intelligence, loyalty, and natural aptitude for lifesaving work in and around water. Readers are introduced to important bloodlines, influential kennels, and notable dogs that helped shape the breed in North America and abroad. The book also serves as a practical handbook for owners and breeders. Topics include puppy selection, feeding, housing, grooming, training, exercise requirements, breeding practices, whelping, and general health care. Guidance is provided for preparing dogs for conformation shows and for understanding judging standards used in competitive exhibition. Illustrated with photographs and historical material, the volume documents the Newfoundland's role in canine history while offering practical advice for maintaining and promoting the breed. The work combines breed history, kennel experience, and educational instruction, making it useful for prospective owners, breeders, exhibitors, and anyone interested in learning about the Newfoundland's unique combination of strength, working ability, and dependable companionship.
