Book Description
After successfully combining their two great loves – dogs and knitting – in their bestselling Best In Show books, Sally Muir and Joanna Osborne are back with a new range of knitting patterns for jumpers, accessories and baby items all featuring dog motifs. Dogs on Jumpers pairs simplicity and flexibility with knitwear patterns for men, women, children and babies. There are eighteen featured dog breeds, each with a graph for adult jumpers, alongside 8 additional graphs tailored to child and baby jumpers. Featured breeds include Labrador, Lurcher, Beagle, Dalmatian, Pug, French Bulldog, Golden Retriever, Chihuahua, Springer Spaniel, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Labradoodle, Jack Russell, Miniature Schnauzer, Whippet, Border Terrier, Border Collie, West Highland Terrier and Dachshund. There are three adult jumper shapes and three child/baby shapes, each with their own master pattern: Woman’s neat and boxy Raglan jumper; Woman’s long and loose jumper; Man’s relaxed jumper; Child’s dropped shoulder jumper; Baby’s Raglan jumper (suitable for 3 years and under); and an easy Baby cardigan (suitable for 6 months and under). Once you’ve selected the shape of your jumper, simply choose your dog motif and get knitting! You can even adapt the designs to knit your own dog onto a jumper! Play around with colours and markings, with the position of the dog on the jumper and with the shape of the background – square, oval or stripe. Among the graphs at the back of the book you’ll also find an alphabet graph, so you can either make up your own dog-related phrases, or add your dog’s name or initials. With clear patterns for jumpers, accessories (including a hat and scarf), a baby blanket, a dalmatian onesie and even a dog coat, alongside advice on techniques and yarn choice, plus irresistible lifestyle photography from founder of Phodography, Ursula Aitchison, this is the perfect book for knitters and dog lovers alike.

Canine Confidential

Pages : 288
Book Description
Get to know your best friend better: “Everyone who owns a dog, breeds or trains dogs, or works with dogs should read this informative book.” —Library Journal Just think about the different behaviors you see at a dog park. We have a good understanding of what it means when dogs wag their tails—but what about when they sniff and roll on a stinky spot? Why do they play tug-of-war with one dog, while showing their bellies to another? Why are some dogs shy, while others are bold? What goes on in dogs’ heads and hearts—and how much can we know and understand? Written by award-winning scientist—and lifelong dog lover—Marc Bekoff, Canine Confidential not only brilliantly opens up the world of dog behavior, but also helps us understand how we can make our dogs’ lives better. Rooted in the most up-to-date science on cognition and emotion—fields that have exploded in recent years—Canine Confidential is a wonderfully accessible treasure trove of new information and myth-busting. Peeing, we learn, isn’t always marking; grass-eating isn’t always an attempt to trigger vomiting; it’s okay to hug a dog—on their terms; and so much more. There’s still much we don’t know, but at the core of the book is the certainty that dogs do have deep emotional lives, and that as their companions and trainers we must recognize them as the unique, complex individuals they are—so we can keep them as happy and healthy as possible. “Bekoff shares his own studies and others’ research, along with real-life stories, in a winning tone.” —Booklist
