Wonderful Book

Although I received my dog two years ago, I enjoyed reading and learning about his breed's history. This book contains not only history and breed specific health concerns but also puppy care and training. A basic dog care book from puppy to senior with wonderful photographs.

Reader-Friendly Book

This is a succinct yet comprehensive guide for a current or prospective PBGV owner. Colorful, easy to read, and hitting all the basics, it's an ideal guide for someone trying to get an overview of the breed. Very "reader-friendly".
