4.0 out of 5 stars If your eyes can take it, read this book
This is the 3rd book I've read on the Maltese breed. Unlike the other 2 books, this one was ALL about Maltese instead of adding general information on puppy training ect. The book gave some more advanced information on grooming, and more impressively featured serious discussions on showing and breeding your Maltese. The only peeve I have with this book is the extreamily...

1.0 out of 5 stars Not complete
Overall, this book gives you a general idea of owning a Maltese. However it is far from informative. Compared to the books from the same publisher but of different breeds, this book does not contain sufficient information. Some pictures are cute, but some others merely does not reflect the beauty and the elegance of the Maltese breed. A few pictures were so...

This review is from: Maltese (Complete Pet Owner's Manual) (Paperback)
This is the 3rd book I've read on the Maltese breed. Unlike the other 2 books, this one was ALL about Maltese instead of adding general information on puppy training ect. The book gave some more advanced information on grooming, and more impressively featured serious discussions on showing and breeding your Maltese. The only peeve I have with this book is the extreamily small print..my eyes are still burning! I'd recommend picking up a magnifying glass if you buy this book :) On the positive side, there is a lot of info packed into an 80 page book! Happy Reading.

This is one of the best Basic Maltese books you can read. It gives clear, consise information that the new Maltese owner can understand. I give one of these books to everyone I sell a puppy to.

5.0 out of 5 stars Readable and organized resource on Maltese with many photos., August 28, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Maltese (Complete Pet Owner's Manual) (Paperback)
This is an affordable and informative book to recommend for new or prospective Maltese owners. It is very readable and enjoyable with a variety of photos- including conformation shows, field trials and puppies, puppies, puppies. Fulda orgazines the book well, starting with a history of the breed and detailing the steps to successfully purchasing and caring for a healthy Maltese true to the breed standard.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great addition to a Maltese Owner's library, May 3, 2008
This is the best book I've read on the Maltese breed. The author systematically lays out the basic tenets of dog ownership with practical advice.

The training chapters proved particularly useful as they addressed all different types of training techniques for various problems. The author couples the basic idea of loving your dog and companionship with training. This book is a good reference tool especially for puppy owners.

Also, this book describes in detail what the dog owner should look for in a breeder, veterinarian, and puppy without bias or agenda. All in all, this book was a useful tool in helping me purchase, train, groom, feed, and take care of the new member of our family and I would recommend it to any future Maltese owner. Good luck!

5.0 out of 5 stars Another outstanding dog reference from Barrons., July 30, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Maltese (Complete Pet Owner's Manual) (Paperback)
A comprehensive, no-nonsense approach to the care and keeping of the Maltese. Anyone who knows the breed at all will delight in the information presented by the author, the lovely photos selected by the publisher, and the exquisite illustrations by Michelle Earl-Bridges. An Excellent review of the Maltese standard, with a realistic approach to breeding and puppy care. The history of the breed is a stunning synopsis of the Maltese background. Affordable and informative. "Well done author and publisher!"

5.0 out of 5 stars Nicely done, December 19, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Great information and terrific pictures. But after all, it's about the Maltese, so how can you possibly go wrong? If you're thinking about one of these incredibly beautiful pets, get this book. On top of everything else, they don't shed, and they are hypo-allergenic - just like the poodle. And, don't think of these as the impossible to maintain long haired show dogs you see on TV. We keep ours groomed short and it doesn't detract from that incredibly cute thing they have going on (which allows them lots of leeway during the potty training phase). lol.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book for first-time owners, January 19, 2009
This book is absolutely amazing when it comes to educating an owner about their Maltese. I bought it to learn a little about my dog and how to groom him. It did tell most of what I needed to know. There are a ton of good pictures to show you how you can groom your Maltese. I learned a lot about his personality-style, history, and training as well.
