The most extensive line of basic pet information and training guides on the market, Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals are written by experts, and profusely illustrated with full-color photos and instructive, high-quality line art. Each manual is individually written. Not one of Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals is a clone from a single common catch-all book, with one or two chapters added on to make it appear new. Instead, each Barron's manual has been planned, designed, and written from scratch-always by an experienced breeder, trainer, veterinarian, or qualified expert. Originally bred from a now extinct Belgian sheepdog in the Middle Ages, the Schipperke is an energetic pet and household guardian. They are active hunters, intelligent yet independent, and make loyal family companions. Here is a history of the breed, plus a wealth of practical information on care, training, and virtually everything an owner needs to know about the Schipperke.Paperback / 120 Pages / 6 1/2 x 7 7/8 - UPC: 27011003370
