We consider the books listed
here so important for dog owners we'd like to make them available to our puppy
buyers.
You can borrow any of these books (most of them new) one at a time for 3 weeks.
If you want to keep it send us the cost of it (Amazon.com prices) if you don't
want to keep it, send it back. Why are we doing this? because we care for our
puppies' future and hope they will live good lives. There is much misinformation
regarding dog ownership; our vet may tell us one thing, but new research may
have discovered the truth to be another. An informed puppy "parent" will make
good choices for its dog and learn "new tricks" that will help both the dog and
his family be healthier and happier for many more years. Please remember that
much of what you learn about dog's health can be translated to humans, we are
all "people".
We'll also be adding soon links to important webpages. Lots of good info out there!
