The Special Joys and Challenges That Come With Big Dog Ownership.
Some dog lovers won't consider owning anything other than a big dog - and here is the book written especially for them. Big dogs come in a great variety of colours, appearances, and coat types, and have many different kinds of personalities.
In this book, veterinarian Dan Rice discusses Great Danes, Irish Wolfhounds, St Bernard's and many others - more than 40 breeds in total. He advises on health problems related to size, discusses breeding idiosyncrasies, and gives expert information on special nutrition and feeding schedules for rapidly growing breeds. Each of these profiles includes a full-colour photo of the dog that is being described.
There is also detailed information on the traits, origins and lineage of many large breeds, some of them dating back thousands of years in historical records. Additional colour photos complement the author's information and advice throughout the book.
