I thought this book had everything you need to know when bringing a new puppy into your home. From the different types of dog breeds, where they originated from and what type of breed is right for you all the way through to housetraining, crate training and health care for your puppy. It helped us immensely when we brought our new pup home and we will continue to refer to it as often as we need to.
