Best Dog Book Yet,
This book has everything you should know about dogs. It is great for anyone wanting to buy a dog because it helps you realize the responsibility, the breed traits, and what is right for you. It covers dog history, health, behavior–everything! It is also good for dog enthusiasts that enjoy looking at all of the breeds out there. Great section on each breeds profile. I read the entire thing, even all of the dog breeds simply because I love dogs. Very interesting, and covers all the basics. Must buy!

You’ll love this book!,
This guide provides an excellent, comprehensive, step by step review of being a dog owner. It covers deciding if a dog is the right pet for you, deciding which kind of dog fits your lifestyle, preparing your home, buying food and supplies, introducing the dog to the family and other pets, nutrition, health, training, behavior, older pets, legal pet ownership issues, and many other topics. Although the breed descriptions are somewhat brief for a detail fanatic like myself, the pictures are nice, and it’s a good starting point for researching specific breeds more in depth. The breed descriptions strive to remain positive, while indicating that there may be some less than desirable and/or difficult to manage tendencies in some breeds. I look at this book all the time even though I already have 2 dogs.

It gives you a good overview of all breeds and their specific traits and needs. It helps guide you into really thinking about which kind of dog fits your lifestyle and living arrangements before you commit to an animal. It also gives practical information on daily care and first aid, including, for example, what plants you shouldn’t have in your house.
