'Dog Days' is Joyce Stranger's latest book (then 1986) full of delightful stories and practical advice for dog owners. Chita,her intelligent German Shepherd Dog who proved so difficult to train,has now grown into a devoted and rewarding dog.Janus,the elderly Golden Retriever,finally dies and Joyce takes time to reflect on the joys and sadnesses of being a dog owner.
She writes too about the dog club she runs so successfully for pet owners,about showing and dog shows,and about judging, from Crufts to Trials.Joyce tells us how Trials are run and, based on her experiences with Chita,how to choose and train a dog for Trials.Finally,Joyce wonders whether to get another dog now that Janus has died; when she is offered the beautiful Josse,she finds it impossible to say no - but Josse is another story.
