Pugs: Everything About Purchase, Care, Nutrition, Behavior, and Training

by Phil Maggitti

The Pug is an ancient breed that originated in China. It is well known as an alert, loyal, and obedient household pet. This volume tells new and prospective Pug owners virtually everything they need to know about caring for their pet. Books in the Complete Pet Owner's Manuals series present basic information about pets for new or soon-to-be owners. Advice and instruction covers feeding, housing, health care, training, grooming, protection against hazards, and much more. Texts emphasize pet care basics and are easy for all readers to understand, but most titles in this series also present facts that even experienced pet owners and breeders will find new and useful. All books in this series are filled with high quality full-color photos and instructive line drawings.

Ah, Pugs! Gotta love 'em! We have a pug puppy at the moment, and she certainly is something special. This is a handy little book, it is also humourous and fun to read. Now if only there were even more photos...
