With
The Good, the Bad, and the Furry, author Sam Stall has consulted with dozens of breed rescue groups to learn the best--and worst--traits of more than 100 different dogs, from Affenpinschers and Afghans to Whippets and Yorkshire Terriers. These illustrated profiles offer honest, warts-and-all assessments of the world's most popular breeds--and show which ones are right for you.
- Like to watch TV? The Brussels Griffon is a perfect companion for a couch potato's lifestyle.
- Love to garden? So does the Bernese Mountain Dog, so be careful. Anyone considering this breed should expect a backyard full of holes.
- Have a house full of kids? The trusty Irish Setter will be their best friend.
- Live in a big-city high-rise? Pass on the Jack Russell Terrier--these dogs have tremendous energy and need plenty of open space to burn it off.
With more than 100 illustrations and a handy at-a-glance icon reference system,
The Good, the Bad, and the Furry has everything you need to find the right dog for you
