Dogs for Dummies
by Gina Spadafori
Required reading for anyone considering a dog. This comprehensive and entertaining
book gives extensive information on selecting a breed including tips on locating and
screening breeders to weed out the unscrupulous or the ignorant. The book moves on to the
practical aspects of ownership: bringing home a puppy or adult dog, feeding,
grooming, veterinary care, training, behavioral problems and traveling with pets. One of
the most interesting chapters debunks common myths about dogs--that a barking dog won't
bite, for instance. There's even a chapter on silly tricks to teach your dog and another
on "must-see" dog sites on the web. |
