The Holidays are just around the corner and this is the year you have finally decided to buy a puppy for the kids, and for the kid in you.

But what kind? You need a breed that fits into your lifestyle. Here's where Bash Dibra comes to your rescue. Check out his book "Your Dream Dog: A guide to choosing the right breed for you" at his website, www.bashdibra.com.

The book includes detailed descriptions of 170 breeds, tips on how to match the dog's needs with the owner's lifestyle, and helpful hints on how to acquire a healthy dog, whether it's a purebred, a mixed breed, or a mutt.

Some of the tips include:

• How to match the dog's needs with the owner's lifestyle and living space.

• Complete physical and personality descriptions including photos of 140 recognized breeds.

• How to choose the perfect canine companion, and move from puppy love to a happy, long-term   relationship with the dog of your dreams.

• Bash's book also includes a chapter on where to find your dream dog – from breeders, rescue groups, or shelters.

• With additional chapters on "Starting Right, Canine Companionship, and Health Care."

When you finally decide to bring a dog into your life, it's very important to make sure you have made the right choice – the right choice to fit your home and the city where you live, and the right dog to make sure this precious bundle will fit into your lifestyle.

After you've followed Bash's advice in "YOUR DREAM DOG" and chosen the perfect pet, it's time to think about teaching your dog to be a "canine good citizen." You can start their training as early as 3 months, but Bash says it's never too late to start - when they are a puppy or even when they are 10 years of age. One thing he does insist on is the pet owner must be a part of the training. Training the pet owner and the dog together ensures a closer bonding relationship.

Bash is an animal behaviorist, dog trainer and renowned author of six books and a video, "Teach Your Dog to Behave, Dog Training By Bash, DogSpeak, CatSpeak, Your Dream Dog: A Guide to Choosing the Right Breed for You," StarPet, "How to Make Your Pet A Star," and a video and DVD "Teach Your Dog To Behave." They are available at book stores and pet stores around the country and you can also order a specially autographed copy from his website at www.bashdibra.com. Bash's books are also available on Kindle, the iPad, and e-books. He's now busy working on two children's books for dogs and cats, CatSpeak for kids and DogSpeak for kids.
