An enchanting "big dog" in a small-dog package,
the Lhasa Apso ranks among the many mystical wonders of Tibet. Adored by his
owners for his assertive, gay temperament and his luxurious floor-length coat,
the Lhasa Apso thrives in many living situations, proving to be among the most
adaptable of canine companions. Written by Tibetan-breed scholar, Juliette
Cunliffe, this remarkable little book provides an insightful account of the
Lhasa’s ancestry in Tibet and beyond, as well as discussions of breed
characteristics and standard, puppy selection, feeding, coat care and grooming,
training, preventative health care and showing. The new owner will welcome
advice about puppy-proofing the home, preparing for the pup’s arrival,
housebreaking and preventing puppy problems. In addition to an authoritative,
comprehensive text, this book presents over 135 photographs in full color, which
prove to be as informative as they are attractive. Helpful hints and important
information are highlighted to provide easy access to everything the reader
needs to know about life with a Lhasa from puppyhood to the senior years. |
