REVIEWS

“Absolutely amazing book! Author gives you all the details & instruction you need in order to provide the best care for your new French Bulldog. Best choice,” LEONARDO BEDOYA, USA

"My puppy's breeder recommended this book & she was right. As a first-time Frenchie owner, there is a lot of information...particularly helpful was the advice about not allowing your dog to overheat. Little Claude is very playful & can get over-excited & pant. This can actually be dangerous for Frenchies & I wouldn't have known that before. It also gave me comfort around training because I now know Frenchies can take longer to train than other breeds & it's not me doing anything wrong. This book made sure I can take the best care of Claude. Thank you!" RUTHLESS, UK

"Best Handbook. I did a lot of research determining which book on the market was the best all around that covers the following topics: Is a Frenchie for me, Frenchie personality, how to care for & train Frenchies. This book checked all the boxes I needed. Five stars," INFORMED CUSTOMER, USA.

“A consistently authoritative voice on bringing up your dog. Linda Whitwam certainly knows her stuff...down-to-earth & very readable. It is the same sort of book you're delighted to receive when you've just had a baby yourself - you keep going back to it to "see what Linda says!!" I can't recommend this book highly enough," ALMONDGIRL, UK

“I am a first-time dog owner, let alone a first time Frenchie owner so I found this book beyond helpful & easy to understand. I just want to do right by my puppy & this book gives me all of the information that I need in order to be confident that I am raising a happy & healthy puppy,” NICK L, CALIFORNIA, USA
