There are currently four informative breed books available in English. The Cochrane and Simonds books focus on the breed in England; the Russ and Rogers book along with the Smith book deal primarily with the breed in the United States. The Ludwig book provides a brief introduction to all four of the Swiss mountain dogs. The German language book is the most complete reference available. For those interested in draft work the Powell book is excellent.
