Product Description
This is our seventh set of Happy, Healthy Pet titles. These latest books will bring our series up to fifty-five titles and, like the others, they are books pet owners can turn to for the essential information they need to raise a healthy, happy pet. All books contain information on: - feeding
- grooming
- housing
- health care
- what to expect from the pet
- basic training
As our series expands and focuses on different kinds of pets, the emphasis remains on making the pet a companion. Owners of more unusual pets will particularly appreciate the expert advice in these books because professional care for exotic animals can be hard to come by. As always, the instruction on the books is from experts–people who know their pets intimately but always remember what it was like to have one the first time. Happy, Healthy Pet guides are rich with professional quality color photos and are designed to be enjoyable and easy to learn from.The Bulldog is one of America's most beloved and well known breeds. According to AKC statistics, there were more than 11,000 Bulldogs registered in 1995 alone. Marie Andrče has been breeding champion Bulldogs since the 1930s.

 Simple, easy-to-understand guide for first time owners September 29, 2008
This is a rather short, simple book written for first time ownwers. The pitfalls of this book are that only a little over half the book is written specific to bulldogs. The remainder is general dog information about training and specialized training for certain canine events like agility and field trials, typically NOT things bulldogs are good at.

I am definetly not a Bulldog fan. I HATE them! But I am making a dog website and I looked at all the books in our library and tried to find one with new breeds in it. I saw that this book contained the ancestor of the mastiff-bulldog breeds! That was cool! What I have to say about the actual book is that in the first part is that it talks about the dogs, and then talks about health and care and things like that, and then it goes onto plain dogs. I give this a four because of these opposing properties.
Great info on the breed but too much filler on others March 20, 2000

I read this cover to cover in one sitting. This text has some pertinent and practical bulldog facts and care tips, but the problem is that the majority of this book is not Bulldog-specific! A huge chunk is about the care and health of ANY dog. Very readable but disappointing in its lack of specificity.
