This has left most dog food buyers in the position of having to experiment at home in order to find the best food for their dog. Too often this type of experimenting has had disastrous results. But now the dog food buyer has a tool...this book can help all dog owners match their dog to the right food. Recommendations in this book are made by the nutrient sources found in most commercial dog food formulas and not by brand name or with any bias or brand loyalty Incorporating the revolutionary teachings of John Ross's prominent

Dog Eat Dog : A Very Human Book About Dogs and Dog Shows ~ Ships in 2-3 days: Jane Stern Michael Stern / Hardcover / Published 1997
Our Price: $15.40 ~ You Save: $6.60 (30%)
Best book I've read that explains the world of dog shows. If you love dogs, but can't understand why anyone gets involved in dogs shows; if you've ever watched the Westminister Kennel club show on USA Network, and wondered what it's really like for the human contestants, if you want to know why anyone would turn their lives around for their dogs, this book is the best explanation I've read. It's nearly impossible to describe to the uninitiated what it's like to show dogs, what it's like to be with dog show people, and why anyone would devote all their vacations and much of their disposable income to a sport where you're going to lose most of the time. The Sterns use a year in the life of a Bullmastiff breeder to get inside the world of dog shows, dog show people and expose the humor, pathos, bitchiness (both from the dogs and the humans) involved in a sport involving millions of dogs and owners, but one almost entirely foreign even to dog owners and lovers who don't show. It's funny and reads much too quickly. You'll never forget Mimi Einstein the breeder or her charges Rusty, Sam and Sugar.
