Despite their sturdy, muscular build, Boxers are typically friendly and playful. They also make excellent guard dogs. B.E.S. Pet Handbooks present comprehensive information and helpful advice from breeders, veterinarians, and other pet experts on housing, feeding, health care, and where applicable, grooming and training. Filled with photo illustrations, these instructive books resemble B.E.S. alternate series, the Complete Pet Owner's Manuals, but the Handbooks have been written especially for pet owners who have some experience with animals. These books have larger page counts and contain more detailed information, advice, and instruction. Color photos throughout.
