The Bull Terrier: An Alternative Approach by Sonia Smith LBSH  £11.99 + £1.50 P+P 

This comprehensive little book is surely a must for all bull terrier owners whose priority is good health for their pet. It is simple to read but also informative and sometimes humorous (it would be - the author has owned bull terriers for years; she must have a sense of humour!). The book has not been written to replace the skills of a vet but, by a qualified homeopath, to help people understand both bull terriers and homoeopathic medicine. Your purchase raises funds for Bullies in Need so please email Sonia for details of how to buy.
