REVIEWS FOR HOW TO PICK THE PERFECT PUPPY

"If you are thinking of getting a puppy this is the book to buy. There would be a lot fewer disappointed owners, badly behaved dogs, & unwanted dogs if prospective owners had a read of this first. All the info to make the right decisions & enjoy dog ownership. Highly recommended," MRS C. PARKER, DORSET, UK

�What a great book - essential if you are thinking about getting a puppy. Plenty of advice on different breeds & their individual characteristics, with what to watch out for,� S. BAKER, WEST MIDLANDS, UK

�I have owned dogs as pets all my life & I learned a lot from this book. I have a 14-year-old dog now who has had separation anxiety issues & I wish I had this book when she was young. It will, unfortunately, not be long until she is no longer with us (still healthy, but showing her age) & I will definitely rely on this book when it is time to bring a new puppy into the house. I would highly recommend this to anyone thinking about choosing a family pet," N CLARK, USA

�I bought this book for my son who is considering buying a puppy. I made the mistake of flicking through it before I gave it to him. I just couldn't put it down. Linda Whitwam writes in the most down-to-earth, readable fashion & the book is packed full of really useful information. She outlines the pros & cons of all the most common breeds & even the crossbreeds & mixed breeds & when you've decided upon your puppy there's loads of advice on how to look after & train it," Mrs S. E. KAYE, YORKSHIRE, UK
