Own and care for a classy dog―no pedigree required!

All dogs are unique―but mixed breeds are even more so! The new edition of Mixed Breeds For Dummies helps you count the ways, walking you through the latest on choosing, training, and caring for a non-traditionally pedigreed pup. Whether you prefer mystery mixes or designer Labradoodles, winsome rescues or pampered pups from a breeder, you’ll find everything you need to know and more about your new faithful friend―including the science on why they frequently enjoy better health than most pedigreed breeds and often make better domestic companions!

In her friendly, dog-whisperer style, professional animal trainer and prolific author, Miriam Fields-Babineau, begins with tips on choosing the mix that’s right for you, setting up a puppy-friendly environment, and making sure your larder is stocked with healthy foods they’ll love. Once you’re confident your new pal is happily settled in, she clues you in on the best (and most enjoyable) ways to exercise together for maximum fitness, finding a vet you trust (and administering first aid yourself), as well as schooling you in the latest animal psychology-based training methods to ensure you both know where you stand (or sit). You’ll also discover ways to get to know your friend even better―from exercises to test their temperament to delving into the secrets hidden in their DNA!
