This review will appear on all retail sites where the book is available. I received a complimentary copy from I Read Book Tours. Mar 19, Corinne Rodrigues rated it really liked it Shelves: We had that experience when we got Pablo. But while we lived in Mumbai, his life and ours was pretty bad. For us to go out as a couple, leaving him alone became next to impossible. I guess we resented him and he resented us.
If we had read this book before that we might not have got him. As hard as it is to imagine life without Pablo, he and we may have been happier. And yet, this book was an eye-opener. The book helps you to match a dog with your lifestyle. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone thinking of getting a dog. This book was received for free in return for an honest review. Mar 17, M. Hudson rated it liked it. I have been wanting a dog for awhile now. I do realize that there are all sorts of sizes of dogs and breeds but other than that, not much more do I know.
Reading this book, opened my eyes to many things a potential dog owner should think about. The author wrote a comprehensive book in just a few pages, less than to be exact. She includes everything from breed types, to temperament, to care, and owner lifestyle.
She is quick to point out that a new puppy is like having a new baby in the house I have been wanting a dog for awhile now. She is quick to point out that a new puppy is like having a new baby in the house, it takes time and patience to train to be with you and your household. The author is quick to tell the reader that this puppy is meant to be with you for the rest of its life. The author's years of training dogs are exemplified throughout the entire book and is a good guide to picking just the right dog.
For this purpose, it is worth buying the book. The only negative that I do have is that the book is meant to be just a guide. For reading other than that, it serves no other purpose. Also, the book could have been shortened even further into a novelettish or pamphlet size if the pages had been written in 12 point font and not larger font.
The larger font to extend the book was unnecessary. This review is also part of the iRead Book Tours. Hudson aka Naila Moon Sep 28, AnneBenard rated it really liked it. As a life-long dog owner, dog lover, dog sitter and self-professed dog "expert" I was pleasantly surprised to learn many new things in this book. For instance, Chapter 6 recommends visualizing what type of attachment you want from your dog and choose accordingly. What a great idea!
I learned that not only individual temperament but specific breeds play an important part in making this decision. Not only does Dixie's love for dogs come across through her writing but also her concern for potential dog owners. I highly recommend this book and will be keeping it on my reference shelf.

I do have 2 dogs, and they are more like my kids then pets and I wouldn't trade the for the world. Both of my dogs are over 10 years old and I know one day I will be looking for another one. This book is a very informative guide to helping you choose the right dog for you and your family. I do not believe in picking a dog because it is cute and then taking it to the pound a month later bec How to find your dream dog by Dixie Teny When I was looking for a dog I really wish I had of had this book.
I do not believe in picking a dog because it is cute and then taking it to the pound a month later because it chews on everything in the house. If you knew before hand how to choose the perfect pet this would not be a problem and the animal shelters would not be over run with animals. When my kids were young, we decided to let the have a dog. We foudn the cutest little black puppy. He was a Weimaraner. We had never heard of this bread. I asked the lady working there and she told oh he is a medium sized dog, so we took him home and named hi George. We were in effect lied to.
A Weimaraner is kin to the Great Dane. George turned out to a huge dofg and my small children after a few months could not really play with him considering my husband was 6 feet tall and George could stand on his back legs and easily put his paws on my husbands shoulders. George ended up having to live in the back yard. After that there were no more dogs. We switched to cats since we knew how big they would get. If we had of had a book like this I would of never made that mistake.
Of course if I had of told the lady we would be back and would of researched more as well I would not of made that mistake.

This book does a great job breaking down the many aspects of making the decision to own a dog--and of choosing the right dog for your family and lifestyle.
She presents the pros and cons of a variety of dogs, situations and real-life factors that should play into this big decision--and does so in a very straightforward, down to Earth, honest fashion. While we may not want to admit it; dogs are not right for every personal life How to Find your Dream Dog offers Straightforward and Honest Advice. While we may not want to admit it; dogs are not right for every personal lifestyle. Puppies aren't right for everyone. Shelter dogs aren't right for everyone--but, can be if the dog seeker does a bit of homework before adopting the first cute little fuzz ball he or she sees online.
Initially, I thought--"How much guidance and value can the author really give me in only pages? This isn't a textbook. It isn't geared toward a specific breed or resource. Instead this book is loaded with realistic questions, straightforward tips and ideas--and some very "common sense" lessons that many dog owners have learned "the hard way"! It is written directly, simply--and in a very reader-friendly manner. My friends, family and I have owned a variety of dogs in my lifetime.
Some "dream dogs"--some disaster dogs. I wish I had read this book--and had been able to share it and recommend it to friends. There are a lot of reminders--and a lot of common sense notes--to help readers take some of the emotions out of choosing a puppy or adult dog for the family. It's a great book to read for those considering their first dog--and is also a great book with reminders for those of us who have settled into life with dogs I see me re-reading this book and recommending it to others for years to come.
I received a copy of this book from the author or publisher.

But I am glad you felt motivated to share your process, because that is very inspirational indeed. The love of your dog and your art both show through. How could a piece that is created without that part of the artist be anything of meaning? Even commercial artist put part of themselves into their work in order to be successful. Thank you so much for sharing your work. One question that begs answering: How long did it take start to finish to complete this quilt. I suspect it will be longer than anyone can guess.
I hate to sound evasive, but I don;t keep close track. When I get the idea? When I start collecting fabrics for the piece? Only when I have sat down and placed the first piece of fabric? How about a vague answer: This post is overflowing with artistic flair. The quilt is beautiful!
This post tickles the quilt genes deep within. The writings about the dog, truly admirable. To many more wins in Houston! I pinned this quilt over a year ago, both moved its physical beauty and fascinated by the skill and intricacy of its creation. No wonder I was so drawn to it!
