Reviews for The French Bulldog Handbook:
“This is a really comprehensive book for the breed, it clearly explains the health issues that the breed can & do suffer from which very few realise before buying this breed & the costs that can be involved. Furthermore to include the rescue aspect is just what is needed at the moment so that people realise there are other options than just going down the puppy route as well as options for owners who can no longer cope with medical / temperament issues,” K. CROSSAN, UK
“Covers everything you need to know in detail & well explained. Packed full of useful & interesting info, will be dipping in & out of this for a long time,” H. PARKER, DORSET, UK
“ Fantastic information on all aspects of french bulldog ownership. Highly recommend for anyone looking to add a french bulldog to their family, or for those who already care for one,” J. ELLIOTT, NEW ZEALAND
“Five stars. We thought we basically knew what we were getting into since we had an English Bulldog for 10 1/2 years & several friends with French Bulldogs, but still wanted to read more about the breed, & I'm so happy we did, because we didn't know the half of it. This is a great book for anyone who is considering adding a French Bulldog to their family, or anyone who has already added one & needs to figure out what to do,” CRAZY4SHERMAN, ORANGE COUNTY,
