Customer Reviews

Excellent service!

I paid a lot of money for next day service since I wanted the books for a present that weekend. I got them the next day exactly as promised. It meant a lot to me since I was giving it to a still grieving widow who was just given this breed dog.Bichon Frise (Complete Pet Owner's Manual)

Well done!

This is a compact, well done little book. It always refers to the needs of the bichon, unlike many other publications which give information that could apply to any breed. Barron's has a good reputation for accurateness and completeness and maintains it in this publication.

One of the best on the Bichon for the new or potential owner

This is definitely the most definitive of all the books aimed at the new or potential Bichon owner. It tells a great deal about the plus side of owning a truly delightful breed but is also candid about the amount of work involved in its upkeep. Author is one of the Bichon's foremost authorities so he writes from hands on experience.
