This review is from: The Beagle (Hardcover)

Of the four major Beagle books I've read ("The New Beagle" by Judith Musladin; "Beagles" by Beverly Pisano; and "The Beagle: An Owner's Guide to a Happy Healthy Pet" by Richard Roth) this one is clearly the worst. There is nothing of relevance to a pet owner in the "real world" - for someone who is looking for some common sense tips on how to care for and understand their pet. Chapters include such useless topics as@"Beagles in Hawaii," Hound Shows and National Beagle Club Recognized Packs," and "Gun Dog Trials." The countless dated black and white photos are all nearly identical - the usual champion's pose on the winner's podium - page after page of them. I don't think there's a photo taken after 1950 in the entire book. If you're just a regular pet owner who would like to learn more about where your Beagle is coming from and how to take the best, most practical care of it - read Richard Roth's book "The Beagle: An Owner's Guide to a Happy Healthy Pet."

5.0 out of 5 stars the beagle, January 30, 2000

This review is from: The Beagle (Hardcover)

I Read this book when it was published and over the years lost my copy.This book is for the exibitor,I believe,specifically for those who look at pedigrees and like to match photos to names of dogs you were not able to see personally either because you were not exibiting at the time the dog was shown,or were not in the same geographic area... I would also recommend their previous book Beagles and [e-mail]

2.0 out of 5 stars NOT FOR THE REGULAR DOG OWNER, October 30, 2000

This review is from: The Beagle (Hardcover)

I, too, was a little disappointed in this book. Although I loved the photographs of the beautiful little hounds, I was dismayed that the book contained nothing recent. The book was little more than a step-by-step manifesto on how you, too, can enter your beagle in a show and the issues concerning dog shows. I was disappointed that very little was offered in the way of the care of the hound and that the book was really directed towards showing the hounds as opposed to regular owners. Although information about showing beagles is all very well and good, I did not feel this work did a good job in presenting that information.

I gave this an extra star because the photographs (although dated) of the hounds were very appealing.
