Product Description
A friendly guide to an endearing and loyal toy dog

This hands-on, informative book delivers just what prospective Pug owners and longtime Pug lovers need to keep this popular breed happy and healthy–from preparing a home for a new arrival to training, grooming, exercising, breeding, and much more. Written by a Pug expert and featuring eight pages of color photos, the book walks readers through the process of "pug proofing" a home and even offers guidance in adopting or rescuing adult Pugs. Pug fans will find plenty of reliable tips and advice that will help them handle behavior problems, deal with health issues, and enjoy life with this fun-loving breed.

Elaine Waldorf Gewirtz (Westlake Village, CA) is a member of the Dog Writer’s Association who has written about dogs in Dog Fancy, Dog World, and The AKC Gazette, among other magazines.
