2.0 out of 5 stars Good General Book, Cookie Cutter Poodle Book, January 1, 2007

This review is from: The Everything Poodle Book: A complete guide to raising, training, and caring for your poodle (Everything (Pets)) (Paperback)

This book is a good general guide. If you are getting a poodle for the first time and do not have experience training dogs this book would be a good general guide with a few poodle specific facts (if you have not already bought a general guide). I was very disappointed in it as a "poodle book". There are a few paragraphs scattered throughout its pages, which were written (and well) by a poodle person. However, the rest of the book seems to have to the word "poodle" inserted where the word "dog" would be in any general guide. It is a cookie cutter attempt at a poodle book. Most of the poodle information is very basic anyhow, and I (as I hope any true poodle person would be) was turned off at the advocation of poodle mixes. There is not enough information guiding someone to rescue an older or mix poodle as opposed to buying a designer mix poo. Most poodle people are strictly against this. Also, there are not a lot of pictures, and the ones there are aren't very colorful or informative.

Janine Adams has written the definitive guide to living with and loving poodles. Her lively, well-written text answers every conceivable question that a person who lives with a poodle -- or would like to live with one -- could possibly ask. Without question, this book is a five-star opus.

Lots of information that I had never read anywhere else, and I've read a lot of dog books. It is obvious the author loves dogs. My only complaint is just not enough pictures. But great, great book.
