This review is from: The Everything Puppy Book: Choosing, Raising, and Training Your Littlest Best Friend (Everything Series) (Paperback)

This book covers just about everything you would need to know to bring your puppy home and care for it properly. I recommend it to both new puppy owners and people trying to find a breed right for them. The book also list a short Pros and Cons for each breed. I still recommend puppy training classes but the book will help you get through the first few months without the classes.
