Now, The Complete Guide to Mutts addresses all the special needs of owning a mixed breed, providing comprehensive, reliable information in one authoritative resource on everything from health and training to behavior issues-something you won't find in other books.

You'll also discover: * Why mutts are number one in the hearts of millions and why a mutt might-or might not-be right for you * How to find the perfect mutt through a shelter or rescue organization * The general types of mutts and how to tell what your mixed breed may be * The difference between training a puppy and an adult mutt * How to understand your mutt's behavior-and change it if necessary * The best supplies for your mutt, including feeding dos and don'ts * The latest on competing in obedience, agility, and other performance events. www.alibris.com
