REVIEWS FOR THE FRENCH BULLDOG HANDBOOK:

“We thought we basically knew what we were getting into since we had an English Bulldog for 10½ years & several friends with French Bulldogs, but still wanted to read more about the breed, & I'm so happy we did, because we didn't know the half of it. This is a great book for anyone who is considering adding a French Bulldog to their family, or anyone who has already added one & needs to figure out what to do,” CRAZY4SHERMAN, ORANGE COUNTY, USA 

“Love this book, got all the info I was hoping for! Ready for my little fur baby now!” SARAH SWANN, UK 

“Full of helpful tips on the care & character of the French Bulldog. This is definitely worth a read if you are considering getting a French Bulldog or if you already have one & want to know more about your dog & why it does what it does,” S. BAKER, WEST MIDLANDS, UK

 “Really informative & interesting, worth the money!!” SUSAN SPEER, UK
