J SHEARMAN, DEVON, UK (Cockapoo Handbook) "This is a very easy & smart read! So many things to know about this special kind of dog, they are all in this book. We love all the easy to understand tips. Would recommend this to anyone that has one of these critters," K. SIMMONS, ARIZONA ,USA (Labradoodle Handbook) "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, CARMARTHENSHIRE, WALES, UK (Complete Pug Handbook) " This handbook is a great tool for a new owner or someone looking into the breed. Schnauzers are a great breed for someone with allergies, like our household. An excellent read & resource," T. HOLT, CONNECTICUT, USA (Schnauzer Handbook)
