Almost Everything You Need to Know About Aussiedoodles

By Diane Klumb

Book Overview

The latest offering from award-winning and best-selling author Diane Klumb, Almost Everything You Need to Know About Aussiedoodles is the first book to shine a spotlight on this thoroughly delightful designer breed. Much more than just a sized-down version of his larger Doodle cousins, the author explains how and why this cross between the Australian Shepherd and the Poodle differs from hybrids developed from sporting breeds, and why they may actually be the better choice for many families.Not your typical "generic picture book", this one is packed with a ton of useful and even life-saving information that you simply won't find anywhere else. (Who knew a genetic mutation not found in other Doodles can cause reactions to over a dozen common veterinary drugs, including heartworm preventatives and common diarrhea medications, in Aussiedoodles? The information on how owners can have their dog inexpensively gene-tested at home to assess his vulnerability is worth more than the price of the book!)Covering a wide range of other important topics including how outdated vaccination protocols can negatively affect your dog's long-term health, the links between Aussiedoodle color genetics and deafness, as well as step-by-step instructions on grooming, this book is a must-have addition to the library of anyone who already owns an Aussiedoodle, is considering adding one to their family, or just wants to learn more about this unique and charming breed.238 pages; Illustrated in black and white.
