With The Right Dog For You you will be able to understand the personalities and needs of almost any breed to allow you to choose your perfect companion. ​The first part of the book offers all-round guidance on how to choose a dog, and a short discussion of the pluses and otherwise of the newer crossbreeds. This is followed by a directory of over 120 breeds and crossbreeds, arranged by adult size, small to large, and packed full of information.
