5.0 out of 5 stars Great advice for new, prospective, or experienced beaglers, January 25, 1999

By A Customer

This may be the handiest guide to beagle (or other dog) ownership I have enountered. Having been a breeder of Champion Beagles, as well as an instructor in Obedience and Conformation showing for some 12 years, I have read most available books on beagles, puppy selection, training, and care. If I had any literary talent, this book is the way I'd like to express my thoughts. It is complete, thorough, and well stated. It is not so complex as to lose a novice owner, and is not so simple to make the subject dry. Thank you, Hazel and David Arnold. We liked the pictures, too!!

5.0 out of 5 stars BEAGLES -- THEY'RE CHAMPIONSHIP DOGS TO ME, October 30, 2000

By	BeatleBangs1964 (United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This book is an excellent manual of beagle care from breeding to health care to show preparation. The photographs are superb and the authors have really done their homework in presenting the information. The book is written in a plain, clear style that will not only sustain the readers' interest, but will also help keep readers informed about the care and temperament of this wonderful breed.

As the owner of a beagle, I am so glad this book exists. For people who are "prospective beagle owners," I would highly suggest that they do get a beagle and see what wonderful companions and loving pets beagles really are.

As a prospective Beagle owner with many questions. I found this book the most informative of all I have bought and read. For every question that I had, it had the answer. It covers everything from selecting and houstraining, to training and showing. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to raise a Beagle
