With The Right Dog For You you will be able to understand the
personalities and needs of almost any breed to allow you to choose your
perfect companion.
The first part of the book offers all-round guidance on how to choose a
dog, and a short discussion of the pluses and otherwise of the newer
crossbreeds. This is followed by a directory of over 120 breeds and
crossbreeds, arranged by adult size, small to large, and packed full of
information. Alongside the mugshot, each breed has information about its
group (which offers valuable behavioural clues--don't pick a Border
Collie unless you have an awful lot of energy for example) and a
succinct profile dealing with everything from grooming needs to any
breed health concerns.
This book will send you to the breeder or the rescue centre with your
eyes open--leaving you free to lose your heart to a dog that you know
will fit in with your lifestyle.
