4.0 out of 5 stars
Sometimes you just gotta read . . .
I purchased this book when it was new and thoroughly enjoyed it. Yes, it has lots of history about the breed, and at the time it was published it was very accurate. It's too bad someone decided to purchase an *OUT-OF-PRINT* book and expected it to be up to date for the present. I guess Gone With the Wind should have been updated too. Anyway, I enjoyed the book,...

NOt what I expected
It's unlikely you will find this book, because it's out of print. I heard about it on the Compuserve Dog Forum, because co-author Marcy Heathman, was one of the forum moderators. Being owned by two pugs, I have become a pug paraphrenalia seeker, so this book was high on my list. However, I tho't this was a very specialized "How to care for your pug" type...

This review is from: Meet the Pug: For Years of Happiness (Pure Bred) (Hardcover)
It's unlikely you will find this book, because it's out of print. I heard about it on the Compuserve Dog Forum, because co-author Marcy Heathman, was one of the forum moderators.Being owned by two pugs, I have become a pug paraphrenalia seeker, so this book was high on my list. However, I tho't this was a very specialized "How to care for your pug" type book. Instead, it is a history of some of the top bloodlines of the breed. If I were a serious pug breeder and exhibitor, this would be mandatory reading. I am not, nor do I ever intend to breed or show pugs.Also, the famous pugs listed in the book are ones who are either very old or deceased, and many other pugs are ommitted because the book was never updated (a Herculean task, I'm sure). SO, this book will probably eventually be a gift to a dedicated pug breeder/and dog show exhibitor some day.

It's too bad someone decided to purchase an *OUT-OF-PRINT* book and expected it to be up to date for the present. I guess Gone With the Wind should have been updated too.Anyway, I enjoyed the book, especially since it reflects a lot of what Louise Gore believed in as a breeder. If you're looking for a book about your pet pug, then look elsewhere. This was not a book written for the general public. If you're looking for history, information about breeding, and photographs of dogs that are excellent representatives of the breed, then see if you can find a copy. |
