Not the best Boston Terrier book

For Dummies is usually my go to series when it comes to do it yourself and reference books but I will have to say this one let me down. It was not a horrible book and I am not upset I got it because it did have a lot of great information but this book should have been called Dogs For Dummies. The author does admit to not owning the breed and it showed. It's like she just googled a few Boston Terrier facts and just put the name Boston Terrier in the book so she could call it a Boston Terrier book. I wish they would of picked a person who knows the breed inside out. I am thinking of getting this breed and was looking to get inside a Boston Terrier's head. This book to me lacked the enthusiasm for the breed and was more of a general dog book.

I liked this book, but I wish it had a bit more information. But it was still informative on Boston Terriers. If you have one, are getting one, or just want to read for the information on Boston Terriers, here’s a book to read.

Full of really great information on a very great breed! Learned a lot about what to expect before we got our Boston.
