Book The Complete Guide to English Bulldogs

Download or read book The Complete Guide to English Bulldogs written by David Anderson and published by LP Media Inc. This book was released on 2019-06-01 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The English Bulldog is one of those breeds that you know on sight. That short snout, stocky frame, underbite, and spiral tail are simply unmistakable for any other breed. They look quite intimidating too. But don’t be fooled. Behind that tough-looking façade is a dog with a goofy disposition, surprising intellect, and a heart of gold. In The Complete Guide to English Bulldogs you will learn everything you need to know from start to end; how to choose a puppy, training, traveling, grooming, health care and senior care. You will also learn all about the background of the breed, its history, breed pre-disposed diseases, and special traits. All the information is specific to Bulldogs and in easy-reading comprehensive detail. Find answers to questions like: Is a English Bulldog the right dog for me? Should I buy from a breeder or adopt from a rescue? I brought my Bulldog home. What now? How can I best train my Bulldog? What are some common mistakes should I avoid? Whether you are a veteran or novice Bulldog owner, there will be something for everyone in this book. Chapters include all the basics such as: A Unique Look – The Bulldog Breed History and Characteristics The Ideal Home Finding Your Bulldog Preparing for Your Puppy The First Week The First Month Housetraining Socialization and Experience Being a Bulldog Parent Living with other dogs Training Your Bulldog Basic Commands Nutrition Grooming – Productive Bonding Basic Health Care Health Concerns Your Aging Bulldog That unforgettable face has always hidden the absolutely darling dog’s real potential. Bulldogs are not a high-energy dog, but not all of them are couch potatoes either. Bulldogs are shockingly intelligent as well, which often takes people by complete surprise (if they are basing their opinion of the dog purely on looks). One of the reasons people are so familiar with Bulldogs is that this is a breed that is considered intimidating – simply based on their looks. This has made them one of the most popular mascots in the world. They are the face of high schools, colleges, and universities, as well as sports teams. They make great mascots because they love people and don’t mind being the center of attention. As a fairly low maintenance dog, they are great for families of nearly every type. They can be fairly stubborn, but with a loving and consistent approach, they will quickly come to understand the benefits of behaving. That high intellect also means that if your Bulldog has the desire, they can be great in competitions such as Obedience and Agility. Of course, if you prefer a couch potato, many of them love that too.

Book The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time

Download or read book The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time written by Mark Haddon and published by Anchor Canada. This book was released on 2009-02-24 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bestselling modern classic—both poignant and funny—narrated by a fifteen year old autistic savant obsessed with Sherlock Holmes, this dazzling novel weaves together an old-fashioned mystery, a contemporary coming-of-age story, and a fascinating excursion into a mind incapable of processing emotions. Christopher John Francis Boone knows all the countries of the world and their capitals and every prime number up to 7,057. Although gifted with a superbly logical brain, Christopher is autistic. Everyday interactions and admonishments have little meaning for him. At fifteen, Christopher’s carefully constructed world falls apart when he finds his neighbour’s dog Wellington impaled on a garden fork, and he is initially blamed for the killing. Christopher decides that he will track down the real killer, and turns to his favourite fictional character, the impeccably logical Sherlock Holmes, for inspiration. But the investigation leads him down some unexpected paths and ultimately brings him face to face with the dissolution of his parents’ marriage. As Christopher tries to deal with the crisis within his own family, the narrative draws readers into the workings of Christopher’s mind. And herein lies the key to the brilliance of Mark Haddon’s choice of narrator: The most wrenching of emotional moments are chronicled by a boy who cannot fathom emotions. The effect is dazzling, making for one of the freshest debut in years: a comedy, a tearjerker, a mystery story, a novel of exceptional literary merit that is great fun to read.
