The Lhasa Apso: An Owner's Guide to a Happy Healthy Pet - Hardcover

by Carolyn Herbel (Author)

This is our ninth set of ""Happy, Healthy Pet"" titles. These latest books will bring our series up to sixty-seven titles and, like the others, they are books that pet owners can turn to for the essential information they need to raise a happy, healthy pet.

All books contain information on:

• feeding
• grooming
• housing
• health care
• what to expect from the pet
• basic training

As our series expands and focuses on different kinds of pets, the emphasis remains on making the pet a companion. Owners of more unusual pets will particularly appreciate the expert advice in these books because professional care for exotic animals can be hard to come by. As always, the instruction in the books is from experts (people who know their pets intimately but always remember what it was like to have one the first time).

""Happy, Healthy Pet"" guides are rich with professional quality color photos and are designed to be enjoyable and easy to learn from.

""The Lhasa Apso"" dog is a steadfast favorite AKC registered breed. More and more people are finding out that this hardy little dog makes a wonderful family pet. Carolyn Herbel, from Putnam, Oklahoma, shows and breeds Lhasa Apsos.
