Bull Dogs

by Phil Maggitti

Published 1 August 1997
Originally bred for the now outlawed sport of bull baiting, today's bulldog is typically mild tempered and a loyal household companion. Barron's extensive line of "Complete Pet Owner's Manuals" advise current and soon-to-be pet owners on the care of dogs and cats of virtually all recognized breeds, as well as on birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, small mammals, and even exotic creatures like tarantulas and sugar gliders. The information in each book is authoritative but the language is non-technical and easy for every pet owner to understand. Every title in this series is individually written from first page to last by a breeder, trainer, veterinarian, or other animal specialist. All "Complete Pet Owner's Manuals" are filled with high-quality colour photos and instructive line art.
