Synopsis

American Kennel Club Dog Care and Training Sharing life with a dog is one of life's greatest pleasures. For the first-time owner—in fact, for every dog owner—the experience should be a long and memorable voyage of happy discovery. As with any learning experience, you must have the proper knowledge and skills to successfully choose and raise your new friend. That's exactly what the experts at the American Kennel Club had in mind when they created this book. Here—packed with great photographs of purebred dogs—is everything you need to know before and after you bring your new pet home. From selecting the right dog to keeping it healthy (as well as looking terrific), American Kennel Club Dog Care and Training is the one dog book you'll always be glad to have close at hand. A Howell Dog Book of Distinction

About this title

About the Author:

The American Kennel Club has been the dog breed expert since 1884.

From Library Journal:

The American Kennel Club (AKC), the most influential dog club in the United States, registers purebred dogs, supervises dog shows, and is concerned with all dog-related matters including public education. This book educates. It describes the dog's basic needs and the owner's responsibilities. The message is clear: people who cannot fulfill these obligations should not buy a dog. Topics discussed include "think" before buying, care, showing, training, breeding, and illness. While general dog and breed books have most of the same information, AKC's The Complete Dog Book (Howell. 1985. 17th ed.) has it all. Sections pertaining to dog care and training were selected, edited, or expanded for this new book. If The Complete Dog Book is in reference, this could circulate. For libraries with limited funds, the price is right.
