Reviews for The French Bulldog Handbook:
"This is a very complete & comprehensive book about French bulldogs. I would highly recommend this book to new puppy owners & people wishing to learn more about the breed," SUSAN SIMON, Secretary, FRENCH BULL DOG CLUB OF AMERICA
" Great book for any owner/ breeder of the French Bulldog. Highly recommended," LINDSEY SCANLON, breeder & joint founder of rescue group FRENCH BULLDOG SAVIOURS, WEST YORKSHIRE, UK
"This is a really comprehensive book for the breed, it clearly explains the health issues that the breed can and do suffer from, which very few realise before buying this breed, and the costs that can be involved." K. CROSSAN, UK
"We thought we basically knew what we were getting into since we had an English Bulldog for 101/2 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, USA less
