REVIEWS FOR THE CANINE HANDBOOKS:

“This is the book I have been looking for. I have had only had Springer Spaniels. This is my first Lab & after reading this book I am able to understand why my Lab behaves the way he does,” L. NORDENHOLD, USA

“As a previous owner of Golden Retrievers & now with a 7 month old bundle of energy, this book is the ideal handbook... Is this book useful? The honest answer is a resounding Yes,” MR D. WELLER, UK

“This is a very complete & comprehensive book about French bulldogs. I would highly recommend this book to new puppy owners,” SUSAN SIMON, Secretary, FRENCH BULL DOG CLUB OF AMERICA

“What an excellent book - a must for all Cocker Spaniel owners. What a great idea to have so many breeders give an insight to the life of a Cocker Spaniel,” KEITH HENDERSON, UK

“Absolutely brilliant book! Highly recommended reading for all new Pug owners, this book has breed specific information on every topic, unlike a lot of handbooks which have generalised dog information with only a small section on the actual breed,” S. EVANS, UK
