This was a really good book about the japanese spitz :) Lot's of good tips and valuable information to help you be a good dog owner.

I have to say didn't agree with absolutely every thing in this book. Well, I agreed with most of it - just not the leaving the puppy alone the first night, and taking the puppy to the vet right after picking it up from the kennel.. But the rest of the tips are great.

This book is really helpful because it's packed with information on so many different topics; getting a puppy, training, diet, health, showdogs, and the history of this breed +. Super happy I got this book as I'm going to get a japanese spitz myself one day. I recommend it to owners/owners to be of this breed.
