Greg's distinctive philosophy and practical tips -- hich have produced his best-in-breed winners -- illuminate every page of this special volume that puts the dog's best interests first. Here are insights into choosing a dog, basic care, training, exercise, and nutrition -- and an overview of every stage of a dog's life. Passionate in his opinions and wonderfully effective, Greg includes:

An exercise program for the canine athlete (and they're all athletes!)

Preventive medicine, common illnesses from nose to tail, and age-related concerns
Advice on breeding, whelping, adopting your second (third, fourth...) dog, and more!
