| Editorial Reviews: Product Description The Beagle, though one of the smallest members of the hound family, is a giant in terms of affection, enthusiasm, and general amiability. A gentle house pet, it is wonderful with children. Here is the Beagles history, as well as a detailed description of its traits, and advice on its training and care. Books in this handsomely produced series are written especially for new and soon-to-be pet owners. Most volumes, filled with striking color illustrations, give in-depth presentations of the needs and traits of specific dog breeds. Starting this season,Living With a Pet books are expanding to include other animals that have become popular as house pets. Before acquiring a pet, potential buyers need to know: Is the animal good with children? Which dog breeds make good hunters, guard dogs, or farm dogs? Which animals make ideal apartment pets? Each title in this series gives readers a detailed understanding of the animals daily needs, special abilities, physical traits, temperament, susceptibility to health problems, and the many other details prospective owners need to know before acquiring a pet. All Living With a Pet titles are hardcover editions with jackets, and all have color photos on every two-page spread. Interesting sidebars appear throughout the text. Now Comes with Bonus DVD at No Added Cost! The brand-new hour-long dog training instruction program is specially designed to help dog owners who have little or no experience in obedience training. | |||||||||||
Customer Reviews: Everything Beagle April 18, 2008A. Bolewski (Chicago, Il.) This is a Great book about Beagles. It is not just another dog book. I adopted a beagle mix 8 months ago and I wish that I read this book before. It perfectly describes every aspect of a Beagle's life. It even includes some (though limited) information about Health Care issues. The only thing it missed is how to deal with the occasional "Reverse Sneeze" attack. It includes a Training DVD that will give you pointers on dealing with Beagle issues. It is a great Book for anyone who is thinking of getting or owns a Beagle. It is a quick read (128 pages) and a good Beagle reference book. Sniffing Down the Beagle Trail & Barking Up the Right Tree November 1, 2007BeatleBangs1964 (United States) This is an excellent book about beagles by someone who has been directly involved with the breed for many years. Since this author is also a veterinarian, this book is written with professional acuity. Breeders especially will love this book as it gives good practical advice on breeding their hounds and finding others who do. Good general care such as vaccinations and regular checkups is included. I recommend this book for anybody who owns this delightful breed. I love beagles! great book June 20, 2007J. Soto this book is really helped me to understand my beagle. i love it and recommend it and training your beagle. i was able to teach my dog to sit within five minutes and he still does it. Beagle Savvy Book! January 30, 2006K. B. 2 out of 2 found this review helpful "Living With A Beagle" is an excellent new book about beagles, not your run of the mill "boilerplate" dog book. The author has been involved in beagles for many years and is also a veternarian! I was particularly pleased to see the information on choosing a reputable breeder, and how to determine if you are dealing with one when purchasing your beagle pup. Due to her medical background, there is also lots of up to date info on vaccinations, disease, and even doggie first aid. I most heartily reccomend this book to any one who owns, or expecially anyone who is thinking of getting a beagle! | |||||||||||
