Woof-A-Pedia: The Ultimate Dog Breed Guide: A Comprehensive Guide to Tips and Tricks for Choosing the Perfect Dog for Your Lifestyle

by Zero Woofs Given Press

Overview

Think you're ready for a dog? Ha. That's adorable. Instagram will have you believe dogs are just tiny therapists in sweaters. The reality? Shredded shoes, midnight vomit surprises, and a crash course in "selective hearing."

Woof-a-Pedia: The Ultimate Dog Breed Guide rips the filter off over 250 breeds. No sugar-coating, no pastel watercolor lies—just brutally honest, laugh-out-loud snapshots of what it's really like to share your home, heart, and probably your dinner with these gloriously imperfect creatures.

Inside, you'll discover:

Which breeds will devour your couch, your drywall, and maybe your sanity (before breakfast).

Who adores kids—and who's plotting a stealthy escape at the first squeal.

Grooming disasters, exercise obsessions, and weird quirks that'll either delight or destroy your free time.

This isn't some dry encyclopedia. It's part cautionary tale, part love letter, packed with hilariously true stories, down-to-earth advice, and zero judgment if you decide to adopt three more anyway. Because sure, dogs bring chaos, expense, and the occasional carpet stain that no product on earth can lift—but they also give you a kind of messy, magical loyalty you'll never find swiping right on a dating app.

So grab a snack (for you—your dog's already stolen half), dive in, and meet the dogs behind the hype. At Zero Woofs Given Press, we're here to tell you the truth—so you can pick a perfectly imperfect companion... just like you.

About the Author

Zero Woofs Given Press was born out of one sarcastic human’s lifelong gripe with the sugarcoated nonsense you find in most dog books. Founded by Shannon — a snarky, lifelong dog devotee, former vet tech of 12+ years, and proud Rottweiler mom to Rowan and Rip — this little operation rolls across the West Coast in a camper stuffed with dog hair, coffee mugs, and the occasional muddy paw print on the dashboard.

After two decades in the dog world doing just about everything (and watching far too many pups land in shelters thanks to clueless “owners”), Shannon decided enough was enough. Zero Woofs Given is her mission to call B.S. on the cutesy breed fairy tales and tell you the truth: which dogs will steal your bed, eat your drywall, ignore your kids, or blow your savings on vet bills — all so fewer dogs end up dumped when reality smacks people in the face.

Right now, she’s laser-focused on purebreds, but the so-called “designer dogs” are next on her list (brace yourself, doodle fans). Through every brutally honest page, Shannon hopes you’ll find the gut-level guidance you actually need to pick the right dog for your real life — and maybe feel like you’ve met a kindred spirit who’s fluent in sarcasm as a love language.

If you’re hunting for fluff, platitudes, or promises that every breed is “perfect for kids,” keep walking. But if you want the messy, hilarious, sometimes uncomfortable truth — served with a wink and a Rottie side-eye — welcome home.
