Easily the best, most helpful book I’ve come across on prepping for life with a Rhodesian. So many of these types of book feel so breed non-specific; this author leaves no doubt that she is all about Rhodies!

Moses was happy I read this.

Although almost six years old Moses benefitted from this very readable and informative book. The author hit all the high points and others I didn’t now about.
