A must have for any soon to be Bloodhound owner!,
By Idaho Mountain Man (ID, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bloodhounds (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
This book has everything you need to know about the Bloodhound breed. It shows pictures of how to take care of your Bloodhound ect.... I bought this book to learn more about the breed and to train my Bloodhound to track game, and it has worked perfectly for my needs. The only thing they don't really mention in this book is how serious the ear problem is for Bloodhounds. My Bloodhound for example needs her ears cleaned about every 3 days. If you don't clean their ears that often they will get a really bad ear infection and the only way to get it out is surgery, around $500.00 worth. They are a very high maintenance animal but are well worth the effort.

A thorough introduction with terrific illustrations,
By Lyman Hurd (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bloodhounds (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
This is my favorite of several books I have read on this breed. I am a soon-to-be bloodhound owner, and this book combined good advise with beautiful pictures. Also, unlike some other books this book stays strictly about the topic with no generic filler.

This review is from: Bloodhounds (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
VERY informative book for the money. Of the three bloodhound books purchased this month, one was worthless, one was a little pricey, and this one was the best value.
