GoodBadFurry.jpgHave you read the book “the Good, the Bad, and the Furry“? This survey of dog breeds, written by Sam Stall, is full of fact, humor, and realistic advice about common traits of dogs. Just read for yourself a section of the entry for Scottish Terrier:

Headaches and Hassles: Scotties love to dig, so don’t leave one alone in your backyard unless you’d like it to install a root cellar. They also require professional grooming. Because this breed is quite active, it relishes regular walks. A sedentary Scottie is a bored Scottie. And a bored Scottie may amuse itself by taste-testing interior furnishings….

This book keeps you interested in learning about every breed, even the ones you could never imagine having in your home. Stall gives rational advice on everything, from energy level and disposition to physical traits and genetic health problems. The truth about whether a dog will or will not fit into your lifestyle is the basic premise of “The Good, the Bad, and the Furry”.

Be sure to get this book for *anyone* you know who is interested in bringing a new dog home. ‘Tis the season when people consider adding to their furry families. Do your homework first, you’ll be glad you did.
