Complete Idiot's Guide To Getting And Owning A Dog
We think one of the best features of this book is the tips it offers on figuring out which breed of dog is best for you. Whether you need a sporting breed (e.g., a retriever or labrador that requires a lot of activity yet is highly dependent and desiring to please), a hunting breed (e.g., a beagle or greyhound that is independently minded and hooked on smells), or a toy breed (e.g., a poodle or small terrier that may require more discipline than a large dog in spite of its miniature size) - this book helps you discover the dog that you are best suited to taking care of. Other tips on training, grooming, choosing an obedience school and a veterinarian, and dealing with behavioral/health issues are included, as well as valuable insights into what to
expect at every stage of your dog's life.
