5.0 out of 5 stars
A "Must Read" for a future Beagle owner.,
By Jon Woodring (luckyfour@yadtel.net) (Advance, North Carolina, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The New Beagle : A Dog for All Seasons (Hardcover)
I love this book. As a breeder of Beagles I am thrilled that our breed has a book which covers every pertinent topic. The authors knowledge and concern for the welfare of the breed is extremely evident. There is an extensive section on health problems which would enable a prospective owner to make an informed decision on purchasing a puppy. I have bought this book three different times. Each time, a puppy purchaser whom I had shown the book to had decided that they had to have the book and I let them buy it from me. This book is for a Beagle lover who is interested in more than just a cuddly puppy: a person who wants the knowledge to be the best owner possible for his or her new puppy. There is also a great deal of information for those who desire to obedience train, show, hunt or breed their Beagle if their interests progress in those direction. I consider this book a must read for anyone who has a keen interest in Beagles.

4.0 out of 5 stars
For the beagle aficionado,
By A Customer
This review is from: The New Beagle : A Dog for All Seasons (Hardcover)
Lots of information about genetics, breeding, and running packs (perhaps too much for the pet owner, interested mostly in a breed overview), presented by obvious experts. Nice, tight section on the history of the breed. Small section about behavior and temperament (wished there had been more on this--personal preference). Wonderful section on beagle ailments. Impressive presentation of beagles of all types. A scholarly work that should delight the beagle faithful, but may be a heavy go for the casual reader.

3.0 out of 5 stars
For show dog breeders / owners,
By Brent M. Price (Olympia, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The New Beagle : A Dog for All Seasons (Hardcover)
I was unhappy with this book. There is a lot of information if you are a breeder or somebody who wants show your dog. Our beagles are pets, however. We have no interest in showing them. Most of the information in the book seemed to be targeted at people who are raising beagles to show. I was looking for a book that would teach me about the dog but also give me a lot of general information: health issues, concerns, training, etc. My other complaint is that the pictures are old & black & white. ..., I expect to at least get clear, sharp color pictures which add more to the detail or point which is being referenced to or explained by the picture.
