4.0 out of 5 stars Good all-around "reference" info on the Beagle!, July 7, 2003
By 
Kathleen Wilson (Trophy Club, TX United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Beagles (Paperback)
In adopting our rescue beagle, Lucy, earlier this year, I needed a good reference book, giving me the history & care material necessary for understanding & working with a Beagle--this was my winner! I perused, read through, and really "reviewed" several books at my local libraries, and decided upon this one as the best to put in my reference library at home. Not only is it very informative, to the point, and full of great advice and tips on getting to know your beagle, it does not focus too heavily on the show aspect of a beagle.

I found that many books on a dog will be almost 50% to 60% focused on how to breed the dog, teach it "show-quality" skills, and succeed in the competition arena. Being a casual family dog owner, I didn't need any of this info!

Good book, and worth the time and money invested. Happy Beagling!

This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Beagles (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book! All the info is up to date, and it has really good new training tips. As someone who has worked with pets for some time I found lots of good tips and info I would have usually needed more then one book to get. This would be a great book for a first time beagle owner or someone who has had them for years,

5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful!, August 7, 2005
By 
R. Chretin (Lake Forest, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Beagles (Paperback)
We rescued our beagle from a shelter, and prior to that, knew the basics of the breed. This book has been very helpful in giving us the details that are particular to beagles. It's very well-written, and easy to read. I especially like the authors use of "sidebars" to give the reader interesting and useful tidbits. This is a great book for beginning beagle owners!
