Book Description

December 6, 2006
Beagles are an extraordinary breed—no bones about it. They’re cute, compact, fun-loving, and great with kids. (Not to mention those soulful eyes!) But their sense of humor, independence, and stubborn nature isn’t for everyone. So whether you’re thinking about getting your very own Snoopy-dog, or if you’ve already opened your heart and home to one, Beagles for Dummies answers important questions like:
  • What are Beagles supposed to look like and how should they behave?
  • Should I choose a puppy or an adult dog? Male or female?
  • How do I correct my Beagle’s behavior problems?
  • What do I need to do to survive my Beagle’s puppyhood?
  • How can I Beagle-proof my house to keep him (and my stuff) safe?
  • What should I teach my Beagle to do? How do I teach him?
  • What health problems is my Beagle likely to have when he’s young? How about when he grows up—or gets old?

Life with these little hounds can lead to years of merriment, entertainment, and love—but if you think Beagles are just another hound dog, think again! Whether you want to know everything there is to living with a Beagle, or just want to skip to a relevant subject (like how to keep him out of the hamper), Beagles for Dummies gives you everything you need to choose and raise your Snoopy soul mate.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, August 3, 2007
This review is from: Beagles For Dummies (Paperback)
Though it's not plenty of images or photos, this book covers a wide range of subjects a new beagle owner should know. The best is that it has a lot of practical suggestions on how to take care of the dog, including a schedule for activities/meals, a set of tricks the pet can learn to do, health and care issues, and plenty of other information very useful for begining owners. I bought three books on the subject, and this is by far the most useful of all them.
The missing star is only for the lack of photographs, but I guess it is a matter of "dummies-series" design.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Dummie needed it! Buy the book before you buy the dog!, January 19, 2007
This review is from: Beagles For Dummies (Paperback)
Beagles for Dummies is perfect. It's not that you have to be a dummie for this book but by assuming that we are dummies, the author doesn't skip any of the basics. I have had dogs since I was old enough to have anything, and as a child my parents raised champion show beagles. Since then I have had several other dogs but it has been about 10 years since I last had a beagle and this book quickly reminded me of the specifics of having a beagle in our family, and helped my wife prepare for the onslaught of love that comes from a Beagle puppy.
