Titles in this pet care series are similar to Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals, but are larger, with more detailed instruction and more illustrations. The books advise pet owners on purchase, health care, nutritious feeding, proper housing and other facts important to owners and their pets. All books in this series have dozens of high quality, full-color photos and instructive line drawings. Customer Reviews: 0 of 0 found this review helpful: Nice read, 2007-07-16 Certainly an informative book, although I would like to see more suggetions on how to handle beagle-specific behaviors. 0 of 2 found this review helpful: Great Book...Must Have For Beagle Owners, 2007-03-22 Having had a beagle before I had a little experience, but felt I should probably do some reading again before getting my next. It's a must have book for current beagle owners, but it's even more worthy if you read it beofre obtaining your beagle. Very well laid out book and a pleasure to read. 3 of 3 found this review helpful: Mediocre at best, 2006-07-14 Information is ok, but the writing is clunky and the index needs work. 5 of 7 found this review helpful: Beagles - My Hound of Choice!, 2005-09-04 As the owner of a beagle, I thought this was a mediocre book. The grammar is poor, but it does offer good factual information about the breed. The author, in an effort to be "equal opportunity" uses the names "Sam" and "Rosie" as generic male and female beagles. It seems that a more effective approach would be to say "beagles" without using names. Kraeuter's book entitled "Training Your Beagle" is a much better book and was very helpful. Beagle owners will no doubt love her book. 10 of 13 found this review helpful: Reasonable information marred by awful writing, 2005-01-05 I'm a beagle owner and was happy to receive this book as a gift. That was until I started reading it. While it does an adequate job of covering basic information about the breed, the writing is bad enough to be a constant annoyance to anyone with a grasp of grammar or style. Most egregious is the author's incomprehensible choice to substitute the proper names of dogs for indirect references and even pronouns. So instead of saying something like "your beagle may be difficult to toilet train" or "beagles are difficult to toilet train," we must read "Rosie may be difficult to toilet train." Multiply this by thousands of references, and you may slowly be driven insane; certainly I was. I have since bought "Training your Beagle" by Kristine Kraeuter and found it includes even better research and breed information without the fanciful and disastrous prose.
