Living with a Bichon FrisÃ

The perky, friendly Bichon Frise has a distinctive white, �powder-puff� coat. It is a small dog that thrives best in an indoor environment. This book presents the breed�s history, from it origins as a favored pet among European nobility to its relatively recent recognition by the AKC. Here too is extensive advice on feeding, training, grooming, and general care. Books in this handsomely produced series are written especially for new and soon-to-be pet owners. Most volumes, filled with striking color illustrations, give in-depth presentations of the needs and traits of specific dog breeds. Starting this season,Living With a Pet books are expanding to include other animals that have become popular as house pets. Before acquiring a pet, potential buyers need to know: Is the animal good with children? Which dog breeds make good hunters, guard dogs, or farm dogs? Which animals make ideal apartment pets? Each title in this series gives readers a detailed understanding of the animal�s daily needs, special abilities, physical traits, temperament, susceptibility to health problems, and the many other details prospective owners need to know before acquiring a pet. All Living With a Pet titles are hardcover editions with jackets, and all have color photos on every two-page spread.
