Customer Reviews

A good general overview of the breed.

Think of this as an owner's manual for poodles. The book is aimed at those thinking about adopting or who have recently adopted a poodle. The history and characteristics of the poodle are highlighted, particularly the versatility of the breed. There are sections on preparing the home for a new puppy, feeding, health care, grooming, and training. There is lots of information here, for not much money.

Lots of good information for new dog parents.

I loved it, particularly because my dog is pictured in the book several times (see page 61 for my favorite shot). The editor has done a series of these books, one for each popular breed. Good how-to info and photographic examples of dog care and training.
