Description
What has the heart of a St. Bernard, the friendliness of a Beagle, the spots of a Dalmatian and the smarts of Lassie? The mixed breed! And just because it's "different" doesn't mean it needs any less care, training or companionship.
This book has chapters on choosing a canine companion; figuring out what breeds contributed to your mix - and what to expect from them; and the basics of feeding, grooming and regular health care. There is also a special chapter on training by Dr. Ian Dunbar, internationally renowned animal behaviorist, and chapters on getting involved in things as varied as 4-H or therapy work by long-time Dog Fancy magazine columnist Bardi McLennan.
