"Living With Blind Dogs," now in its second edition, is the only published resource book on this topic. It embodies helpful hints from hundreds of blind-dog owners, as well as years of ophthalmic nursing, veterinary, and dog training experiences.

This revised edition also includes numerous new sections and chapters: Dogs both blind and deaf, dogs blind from birth, white canes and other devices, circling behaviors, changes in barking patterns, dealing with cats, giving eye drops, traveling and camping with a blind dog, adding another dog to the pack, dry eye syndrome, VKH, and new findings on PRA and SARD.

Book for handling blind dogs.......2007-10-10
This book is very helpful for me in training my blind Pekingese. I've gotten several good ideas from it.
Most practical, encouraging help available to owners of blind dogs.......2007-07-21
My sweet Basset Hound Wilma developed glaucoma causing immediate blindness in one eye with the possibility of blindness in the other eye at some point. This book is full of encouragment that blind dogs can lead happy lives and really "normal" lives. It has pages and pages of practical things to do to help your dog. It is also a great resource for someone like me with a dog partially blind or beginning to lose their vision because there is a very helpful information on preparing your dog for blindness. I had felt so sad and hopeless about my dog's future until I got this book. A MUST HAVE BOOK for anyone dealing with their dog and blindness.
Very helpful..........2007-05-14
I am the owner of a 6 yr old rottweiler who has been diabetic since 2005 and has recently developed cataracts due to her illness. This book has been extremely informative to me as I assist my dog to adjusting to life without sight. It helped me to understand that with a little patience and guidance, my dog can still enjoy a quality life. Since this is probably a one-of-a-kind book, it is an invaluable source for owners of blind dogs. I highly recommend it.
Very helpul & informative.......2007-04-04
I had been approached about adopting a blind puppy. I purchased this book to figure out if I would be up for the task of dealing with a blind puppy. I found this book to be very helpful & informative. I did adopt the puppy & I was able to have the house ready for her to negotiate & map out by following the book's suggestions.
Excellant resource!!!!!.......2007-03-18
This book helped me deal with what was a very difficult transition when my dog lost his eyesight late in life!

Customer Reviews:
Great book!.......2007-09-25
I felt this book was very helpful in helping me decide on the Rat Terrier breed. It also helped me get prepare for the puppy and gave me ideas for training the puppy.
So far, this is the best book out there to learn about Rat Terriers.......2007-04-20
As a breeder, I own all of the available books, and this is by far the best book for new owners of Rat Terriers. Definitely worth the price it sells for at Amazon.
Everything you need to know about raising Rat Terriers.......2006-10-16
This book covers everything from training to raising and caring for your Rat Terrier. Well written. Is a book for anyone interested in Rat Terriers. Even goes into detail about the types of toys they like to play with.
Buy this book!.......2005-09-15
I bought both this book and the Linda Hibbard book. I could have just purchased this one because I think it is the best of the two. It covers everything! A very comprehensive book for me.I am an experienced mother of 4 kids, but I have never had a dog before,so I needed to know everything! I re-read parts of it all the time to help me be a good mommy to my rat terrier puppy. It has everything from the History of the rat terrier to training and behavior and vaccinations and everyday care. The training section has been particularly helpful.
Great book for people interested in the breed.......2005-08-17
I found this book to be very helpful and nicely detailed. I particularly liked the many good quality photos. Inside the front cover is a two-page picture, with the physical characteristics pointed out and described as from the UKC's breed standard. The standard is also explained in detail in one of the chapters, and in the "Characteristics" chapter it has a good description of the personality traits of Rat Terriers. In the sections about puppies, everyday care, general health care, and senior dogs there is a lot of general information that could be applied to most breeds, but this is common in breed books. The "Health Care of Your Rat Terrier" section has good information about health issues more likely to occur in Rat Terriers, and the "Behavior of Your Rat Terrier" chapter has helpful info about expected behavior and how to deal with behavioral problems that may occur.
Overall, I found this book to be well-written, helpful, and enjoyable to read, and I would recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about Rat Terriers.

fantastic dogue de bordeaux book.......2006-07-22
Absolutely fantastic book with enough infomation to help anyone from the novise to the very experience Dogue de Bordeaux breeder I loved it .
Good general book for caretaking of the Bordeaux.......2005-08-31
This book is a good beginner book for new Dogue de Bordeaux owners. The book covers a little history on the Bordeaux breed as well as information about how to care for the breed. This book was a little too "beginner" for me for it covered a lot about how to care for dogs in general such as house breaking, create training, etc.
Customer Reviews:
Good book for beginners.......2007-06-12
I am in the process of getting my first bulldog and this book was a helpful introduction to the breed and addressed my initial concerns about adopting a bulldog. It has great pictures and helpful tips about bringing home a new puppy. My only disappointment was that it lacked substantial and glossed over many topics such as training. Overall, great book for beginners though!
Good book .......2007-01-20
This book offers alot on bulldogs. It's a must have if you're a first bulldog owner or not.
Gret book for bulldog owners!.......2007-01-09
I liked this book both because it was easy and undertandable to read and because it is a source for many good tips.
GREAT BOOK!!.......2006-08-11
I am in the research stage in wanting a bulldog. I loved this book. It told me what I needed to know and if this breed was for me. I've wanted a bulldog for years and now I'm ready.
Awesome.......2006-02-23
Awesome! I really enjoyed the book, and it answered alot of questions that I had about the breed.

160 pages, hardcover. By Deborah Wood. Fully illustrated guide to owning and caring for this tiny, but outgoing and loyal toy breed.

Love This!.......2007-05-13
This was a very informative book about Papillons. It was especially helpful to me because I am a new owner of a Papillon and I learned a lot. It discussed a wide variety of topics from obedience to health issues. The pictures were wonderful and enjoyable also!
A great read for owners and owners-to-be.......2007-03-05
Please do read up on these small wonders before you let one own you. All dogs are beautiful, all unique, find exactly the qualities best suited to you and your life style.
I must have contacted a dozen breeders and asked hundreds of questions, read for months before I adopted my two year old Papillon. And still, he surprised me, he surprises me all the time. It's like having children, people can tell you all about it, but until you have one of your own it's hard to imagine.
I would not part with Rudy for all the world now. Yes, being a rescue, he did have some baggage, and we're working on that. Brave little soul that he is, he was willing to take a chance on me.
Thanks to Deborah Wood's insights, we will have a better understanding of one another.
One of the things she mentions that really delighted me, and I have not found information to suggest otherwise, is that these dogs can live fourteen to sixteen years, and perhaps longer, if well-cared for and in good health. I certainly hope so.
But I do not find, as she states, that Papillons are as delicate and easily injured as she fears. Compared to other toy sized dogs I have owned and known, Rudy seems quite sturdy. I often refer to him as my pocket sized Border Collie for that reason, and because of his high energy ball-chasing games.
There are pictures of a couple of injured dogs in the book (nothing graphic), but had my Poodle or Pom pulled capers as Rudy does, neither would have lived to tell about it. The other two would have broken a leg taking the leaps he enjoys. This guy climbs ladders. It's enough to scare Mommy to death! And there he is, at the top smiling.
He is definately one of the most intelligent dogs I've ever seen. Is there nothing he can't learn or figure out? He uses his front paws much like hands, hides toys inside boxes and bags so he can later find them, and that sense of smell is really something too. He even throws his own ball if nobody else will.
The author gives very good advice on finding the right puppy after telling you what this breed about, the variety of personalities you may find, the behaviors to expect and so on, so you can decide if this is truly the dog for you.
I'm glad to see there was a brief mention about adopting - I have no qualms about buying from reputable breeders (some people are on the breeder team, or the adopter team, and won't see the good side of the other for nothin' - I am not that girl. I know there is room for both. I adopt because that's what I do, it's what is right for me). I only wish she'd have put a little more effort into that, as it is a complicated matter and there is much to be said.
There is as much to discuss about finding a decent adoption agency and how to check out a rescue dog as there is about buying a pup from a breeder. I'm sure the rescue she mentioned would have been thrilled had she asked for their advice on the topic.
Overall, I think you'll find this book a delight to read. The pictures are beautiful. And it seems even if you've had a Papillon for a while, you'll get a lot of useful information. Even if you only buy it to read the training section, it's worth the money. It's not just about housebreaking; it's that, problem behavoirs, plus all the wonderful things a smart pooch can learn. I knew Pap's did agility and assistance, but dog dancing? Who knew dogs so tiny could do that? And the advice on the barking is priceless!
Great Guide!.......2006-08-15
I adopted a rescue Pap several years ago and enjoy reading up on the breed, though I have no interested in breeding or showing. This book covers some familiar ground, but has lots of very useful information, and the author is honest about the fact that these dogs are not for everyone. Her advice on how to deal with barking was a revelation! Highly recommended.
New Pappy owner, want to know the skinny, get this book!.......2006-03-02
This book is awesome for the new Papillon owner. I'd recommend buying it BEFORE you get your dog. It's one of the more recent breed books, one that isn't outdated and old fashion.
It begins with the dog's history, and follows on to all that other important jazz, like selecting a breeder, the right puppy, care, and so on. It also goes into feeding and training your dog in simple obedience.
There were some things though that left me with questions. They didn't talk too much about the dog in different climates, they do say it's an adaptable dog, but I'm thinking super cold running around in the snow. I have seen pictures of the Pappillon playing in snow, but because of their long fur, they had clumps of snow stuck, which I can imagine uncomfortable. A good question to ask your breeder.
They also talk about an "ear leather". Being a first time dog owner I don't know what this is. Having other dog books, I realized they had diagrams of dogs describing certain body parts. This seemed to be lacking in this book, which might've helped in answering some glossary terms. If you're really new to dogs and you don't know what a dew claw is, that might come as a shocker! I didn't find out until my friend two summers ago received a new puppy who still had theirs. Again this is a good question to bring up to your breeder.
Overall, this book is great, I was reading it at dinner and every server who brought food oohed and awed- JUST AT THE BOOK. No doubt it will be a great resource, but your breeders will be even better. A good breeder will always answer any question even if it's the mundane!
Must have for a Great Guide.......2005-06-06
This book was recommened on a Papillion list im on and Im so glad it was.ITs a jewel.its loaded with up to date info..Im a pet person and found it perfect for my reading before getting my Pappy and now still refer back to it now that shes 6 months old this month.ITs a very well written book.Mrs.C

This book has helped me a great deal with the diagnosis of my canine. I would suggest it to anyone facing these diseases.
Book Review.......2007-03-09
This book was exceptional in the help it provided with my newly sick dogs. I was able to find many ways to help them and me through this.
An Excellent Guide.......2006-11-03
I am a veterinary assistant, but by no means an expert on diabetes in dogs. My heart sank when one of my dogs was diagnosed with diabetes with an initial glucose level of 570. I was shocked, since she was neither overweight, was on a high fiber diet, plenty of exercise and is a mutt. We were in good shape.
As soon as she was diagnosed with diabetes I purchased this book and have to say it was a God sent. It took away my fears of her not being able to live a normal , active, happy life. It is very reassuring to know that Caroline Levin is a registered nurse and most of all has had the experience of having had a dog with diabetes. She has done all the research for us with dogs with Diabetes, Panceatitis, Cushing's Disease etc.. This book is so comprehensive that it answered all of my questions.
My dog is happy and active and with a few lifestyle changes we are in good shape again.
Thank you Ms. Levin for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Dogs, Diet & Disease: An Owner's Guide to Diabetes Mellitus, Pancreatitis, Cushing's Disease, & More.......2006-11-01
Informative book especially for someone who has a dog with one of the abovementioned diseases. It helped me understand more about diabetes and what I should do to best take care of my dog.
This book turned sorrow into solutions.......2006-07-23
Having just been diagnosed this year with diabetes, my beloved Coco and I were struggling with the newness of our changed routine, diet, schedule etc. This book helped educate me and put it all in perspective and find the right program for Coco.
Understanding led to action which led to strength and control of our new situation. A must read for all canine diabetes families.

One of a kind........2006-07-06
Finally a book that doesn't talk down to the reader and gives us the information about our dogs that will help us understand their physiology and hence make better decisions conerning their well being.
However, I do agree with the reviewer who complained that there should have been an additional section devoted to various cancers and perhaps how to avoid them.
It can be read straigh through or as a reference as needed.
I also like the old cover better with a cute girl holding a puppy. This new one sucks. But that's just me.
Great doctor but not a good writer.......2005-08-16
the first dog health book I bought, because I thought it covers all I need to know... not a bad book, great paper, has many good photos and quite informative even doesn't cover all... yet, I find it's too boring and difficult to read for ordinary people (like me), use too much difficult vocabularies, if this book is designed just for vetenarian's consume then fine, but if for all level of dog owners, some of them might just browse the pics, read a while then leave it on the table... Dr. Lowell Ackerman is definitely a great doctor but also definitely need practice in writing a readable book...
Lincoln City dog lover.......2000-12-10
This is a very informative book with great illustrations. Just one thing missing, CANCER. Many of us with dogs, especially with older dogs, need all the information we can get on cancer. I'm still looking for the perfect dog health book.

good book .. nothing to write home about .. a bit wordy .. a lot of history that I did not care about, I just wanted a good manual ..
Cattle Dogs.......2007-05-12
I highly recommend this book. It provides everything that you need to know about your Cattle Dog. It has great detail/history, explanations, and it's easy to understand. I've followed the instructions and training tips that have been provided in this book to raise, and train my 12 week old Cattle Dog. The results have been outstanding. My puppy is responding just as the book stated that he would. Goodluck, it's worth your money!!
G'day, Mate..........2007-02-14
There he was. A cute little red and white puppy with big brown eyes. He melted my heart instantly. This was the first time in over twelve years that I had been completely bowled over by a dog. I had a dog, a beautiful spaniel/terrier mix that went by the name of Topper. She was my pride and joy and when I had to put her to sleep I really thought I was never going to be taken in by another dog until I saw him.
I really didn't ask any questions about this dog. I didn't even know it was a male until I got him home. We named him "Bongo" because before he took off running, he beat the ground with his paws. Speaking of paws, all my friends' looked at them and told me he was going to be huge. I refused to believe it. Not my baby. Maybe he would weigh 35...40 lbs tops.
Little did we know that our baby was part Mastadon. In less than aweek he grew three inches in all directions. The solid white parts were giving way to little red freckles, the angelic look he used to give me in the morning was becoming steadily more demonic and at the end of a month, we had something on our hands that was about as friendly as a Tazmanian Devil.
What the hell kind of dog is this, anyway?
We had a friend tell us that Bongo was an Australian Cattle Dog. Known for their inexhaustive energy stores. This dog was used to rounding up cattle and then after it rounded up a few hundred steers, it wanted to fetch a few dozen times and then maybe go on a brisk twenty mile hike. The dog was literally buzzing from morning to night.
And tempermental...oh man, you don't know the half of it. He would flip his dog dish and grumble when he was disatisfied, he'd yell at the cats and push them over with his extra large head, he'd try and knock my feet out from under me all while getting bigger and bigger and bigger.
We went to the bookstore one day and loaded up our arms with all kinds of reading materials. This book plainly says that the cattledog is a completely different kind of dog. No kidding. We even wanted Cesar Milan to pay a housecall. We were running out of patience, but it turned out, that's exactly what Bongo needed and to be honest, we did too. We took this little guy in not even knowing what to expect. It was kind of unfair to him. But I really was beginning to fall in love with him, even though a few times I wanted to strangle the thing.
Two years later, and after making this book (along with a few others) our Bible, we have a beautiful dog. He's kind, he's gentle, he's loaded with personality and he is just a great addition to our world. This book and its advice works, but you must work with your dog on a regular and consistent basis. You must be willing to know that yes, he is part of the family, but he is still a dog. He's not a human. He's a dog and he wants to be treated like one. He wants boundaries, discipline, affection, and most of all he wants you to notice him. This is not the kind of dog that should be left alone to his own devices, that is unless you want your backyard to look like the moon's surface, your garden hoses to be perforated, and your trees gnawed down to little nubs. You must be willing to give your heart, your soul, and your mind to this breed and I promise you, you will get something incredible in return.
I love my dog. In fact, when I take my dog out for a walk, I just cannot believe why other people would settle for such ugly stupid dogs when they could have something beautiful and wonderful like my beautiful Bongo-Boy.
No, I'm not biased...why?
Get the dog you deserve with the help of this book!
Peace & Blessings...
Informative........2006-03-25
We recently adopted a cattledog mix, going in blind, knowing nothing about the breed. This book was an excellent eye opener and helped overcome a lot of obstacles that may have otherwise caused us to reconsider our choice of puppy.
Happy ACD Owner in Alaska.......1999-12-08
Narelle has done a wonderful job with this book, updating the older version with new photos and relevant information. The book is filled with wonderful pictures of many Australian Cattle Dogs and puppies and shows them herding, playing, sleeping, in the show ring, and doing agility and obedience work. I particularly love the picture of a wonderful blue cattledog named Darcy sleeping on the couch with one of her owners, Rick Williams, on page 130! Although Australian Cattle Dogs are not a breed for everyone because of their high energy level and high intellengence coupled with the need to herd things, the book gives a well-rounded view of the breed. Really a fun book and highly reccomended!
Book Description
Adorable! Spelled the same in French and English, this word sums up the petite French Bulldog. Similar in build to the very popular Pug, the French Bulldog is a roly-poly lotta-lovin' dog -- avec un attitude! While still ranked in the middle of the AKC registrations list at #76, the Frenchie is becoming trés popular.

The French Bulldog : An Owner's Guide .......2007-03-26
I only gave this book one star as this book seems geared strictly towards new dog owners. The Frenchie photos are cute, but not much info that I could use.
Comprehensive and easy to follow........2005-05-22
This is a great book for any Frenchie owner. Unlike some books which claim to be breed specific but aren't this book contains lots of information on French Bulldogs. It covers housebreaking, Feeding, Grooming, Health and so much more. There are lots of great photos as well. I got this book shortly before getting my Frenchie, and it was so helpful. It's written in a way that someone new to the breed like me, or someone that is intreseted in a pet rather then a showdog can understand. This is a book written by a true Frenchie lover, for Frenchie lovers and newbies.
WONDERFUL RESOURCE!.......2005-04-07
I have read and reread this book numerous times. I have owned Frenchies for nearly ten years and this is hands down the single best overall basics on the breed. The author presents important information in an engaging, straight forward manner and is a world renowned expert in Frenchies. If you are considering a frenchie or have recently added one to your family, this book will be an invaluable resource.
Great Book For Anyone Considering A French Bulldog.......2005-03-30
I bought this book when we were leaning towards getting a French Bulldog and wanted more in-depth information. The author is a well-respected breeder of Frenchies with many years of experience. She knows what she is talking about first-hand. This is a great book for anyone considering adding a Frenchie to their family. It is full of all the information you need without excessive information that would overwhelm someone trying to decide if this is the right breed for them. Read this book and you will be well prepared for your flat-faced family member on arrival!
Very Helpful Book With Lots Of Accurate Info........2005-03-27
After aquiring my first Frenchie puppy a few months ago, I read this book cover to cover. Now I use it almost daily as a resource--I even quote this book at my vet's office. I would definitely recommend this book to any future Frenchie owner as it has really been a lifesaver for me.
