Reviewer: Terri Mallett
I'd like to ask, beg, plead, cajole, nag anyone even thinking about getting a puppy, read this first. It has terrific breed descriptions to find the right dog for you & your family. But what I like even more is the section on how to interview a breeder; if everyone asked these questions before buying a pup, less than stellar breeders would be out of business in no time! Getting a dog is a life-long commitment...this book helps add some smarts to your heart when making this important decision.
