Big Lonesome by Jim Ruland

Each title in B.E.S.'s brand-new Dog Bibles Series for dog lovers and prospective dog purchasers discusses a specific dog breed in detail, describes the title breed's physical traits, history, and behavior characteristics, and instructs owners on training methods. Important topics covered include--

  • Living with a dog and understanding breed-specific traits
  • Everyday care, grooming and exercise
