Living with dogs – A personality guide to 40 breeds

WITH THE DACHSHUND, AVOID ESCALATING ARGUMENTS ABOUT WHO IS THE PRINCE OF THE HOUSE, YOU ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER IN YOUR HEART…

This book is a scientifically accurate guide, illustrated in colour, with many tips and curiosities.
40 dogs, both purebred and mixed, are described: their nature, where they come from and what they like to do. In short, what they need to
be happy.
Because, to start a life with a dog, even before buying a kennel, a leash and something good to eat, it might be wise to get to know each other’s wishes, compare them with our own and be prepared to realise them together.

A book for those who have always loved dogs, for those who do not yet know they do, and for those who are simply curious.
