The Complete Guide to the Shar-Pei
Author: Vanessa Richie
Publisher: LP Media Inc
ISBN:
Category : Pets
Languages : en
Pages : 165
Book Description
The Shar-Pei is an intelligent and self-assured breed of dog that was developed over two thousand years ago somewhere in ancient China. Shar-Pei were employed as exemplary guardians. Guinness World Records declared Shar-Pei the world’s rarest breed in 1978, but the dogs’ stoic and devoted nature has earned them an equally devoted following. These ancient animals have become more popular in recent decades, and there are now many dog breeders in the United States who specialize in these unique canines. In one convenient publication, The Complete Guide to the Shar-Pei provides all the information you need to raise your Shar-Pei pup into a regal, well-mannered adult. You will turn to this comprehensive guidebook for solid advice throughout your Shar-Pei’s lifetime, from your first foray into screening breeders to your precious pooch’s final years. This comprehensive guidebook to the Shar-Pei breed answers crucial questions, such as: Is a Shar-Pei the right breed for me? Which training methods are most effective for an obstinate Shar-Pei? How do I best prepare my family to live with a Shar-Pei? What common mistakes should I avoid when raising a Shar-Pei puppy? Shar-Pei tend to be cool and collected at home, making them generally easy to live with, but they also tend to be strong-willed and may be aggressive towards other dogs. In these pages is everything that you need to not only decide if this is the right breed for your household but also how to ensure that your wrinkly little pup grows into a healthy and confident adult dog. Learn more about the history of Shar-Pei, what makes them tick, and tips and techniques to help your dog reach his highest potential, including: The unique temperament of the Chinese Shar-Pei How to choose the right breeder Selecting an adult Shar-Pei Budgeting for the first year How to puppy-proof your home, inside and out Shar-Pei and the multipet household Techniques to make house-training easy The tremendous importance of socialization Effective training methods for Shar-Pei Preventing and extinguishing unwanted behaviors When to enlist a professional trainer Health concerns common to the Chinese Shar-Pei Bathing and grooming best practices for your wrinkly pup Caring for your aging Shar-Pei While not the best choice for a novice pet owner, the Chinese Shar-Pei is an ideal pet for the experienced pet parent who is looking for a loyal and trustworthy companion that is naturally fairly quiet—except for some world-class snoring—and doesn’t require a great deal of exercise. A properly socialized Shar-Pei makes a noble and self-possessed guard dog who will exhibit great loyalty toward his family. This guide to the Chinese Shar-Pei gives you all the tools necessary to gain your Shar-Pei’s respect and trust and give him the best life possible. This wide-ranging guidebook is a must-have addition to any Shar-Pei parent’s library!

Naptime with Theo and Beau
Author: Jessica Shyba
Publisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 1250075017
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 17
Book Description
The only thing better than naptime is naptime with a friend. Theo the puppy (part-Boxer, part-Shepherd, part-Labrador, part-Sharpei) was rescued by Beau, a twenty-three-month-old toddler, and his family from an animal shelter in Santa Cruz. The two of them instantly became best friends. And every day at naptime, Theo waits for Beau to fall asleep, then curls up next to him. Theo and Beau were already a viral sensation thanks to the "unbearably adorable," "utterly charming" photos that author (Beau's mother) Jessica Shyba has been posting on her popular blogMomma's Gone City. And now, she's matched the very sweetest of them to a charming bedtime text to make a board book that is (as Alyssa Milano said of the blog) "so cute it hurts."

Fetch
Author: Nicole J. Georges
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0544608119
Category : Comics & Graphic Novels
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
From an award-winning artist, a memoir of life with a difficult, beloved dog that will resonate with anybody who has ever had a less than perfectly behaved pet When Nicole Georges was sixteen she adopted Beija, a dysfunctional shar-pei/corgi mix—a troublesome combination of tiny and attack, just like teenaged Nicole herself. For the next fifteen years, Beija would be the one constant in her life. Through depression, relationships gone awry, and an unmoored young adulthood played out against the backdrop of the Portland punk scene, Beija was there, wearing her “Don’t Pet Me” bandana. Georges’s gorgeous graphic novel Fetch chronicles their symbiotic, codependent relationship and probes what it means to care for and be responsible to another living thing—a living thing that occasionally lunges at toddlers. Nicole turns to vets, dog whisperers, and even a pet psychic for help, but it is the moments of accommodation, adaption, and compassion that sustain them. Nicole never successfully taught Beija “sit,” but in the end, Beija taught Nicole how to stay.

Knocked Down
Author: Aileen Weintraub
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 1496231902
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
A laugh-out-loud memoir about a free-spirited, commitment-phobic Brooklyn girl who, after a whirlwind romance, finds herself living in a rickety farmhouse, pregnant, and faced with five months of doctor-prescribed bed rest because of unusually large fibroids. Aileen Weintraub has been running away from commitment her entire life, hopping from one job and one relationship to the next. When her father suddenly dies, she flees her Jewish Brooklyn community for the wilds of the country, where she unexpectedly falls in love with a man who knows a lot about produce, tractors, and how to take a person down in one jiu-jitsu move. Within months of saying “I do” she’s pregnant, life is on track, and then wham! Her doctor slaps a high-risk label on her uterus and sends her to bed for five months. As her husband’s bucolic (and possibly haunted) farmhouse begins to collapse and her marriage starts to do the same, Weintraub finally confronts her grief for her father while fighting for the survival of her unborn baby. In her precarious situation, will she stay or will she once again run away from it all? Knocked Down is an emotionally charged, laugh-out-loud roller-coaster ride of survival and growth. It is a story about marriage, motherhood, and the risks we take.
