Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Poodles come in miniature, toy, and standard sizes, and in a variety of colors. Despite their popularity as show dogs, all poodles share ancestry as bird hunters' retrievers. This book is a new title in Barron's extensive line of Complete Pet Owner's Manuals. They advise current and soon-to-be pet owners on the care of dogs and cats of virtually all recognized breeds, as well as on birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, small mammals, and even exotic creatures like tarantulas and sugar gliders. The information in each book is authoritative but the language is non-technical and easy for every pet owner to understand. Every title in this series is individually written from first page to last by a breeder, trainer, veterinarian, or other animal specialist. All Complete Pet Owner's Manuals are filled with high-quality color photographs and instructive line art.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This is an excellent introduction for pet Poodle owners, August 11, 1998
    By A Customer
    Many inexpensive dog books suffer from a 'cookie-cutter' approach. I was happy to find that this book does not. In fact, it has much information that is Poodle specific.

    I've recommended this book to a number of Poodle breeders I know. I think every puppy buyer would profit from being sent home with a copy of it.

    Poodles have a number of special requirements, notably grooming. This slim book manages to give the new owner plenty of information about these topics.

    Breeders --Buy this book and give it to your puppy buyers!

    By A Customer
    This book was very helpful to us as new poodle owners. We followed its advice and have a wonderful dog who is about one year old now. The poodles are as smart and sensitive as they are described!! One piece of advice--get your poodle used to the groomer early, you will both be so much happier!!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Poodles:Everything about Purchase,Care,Nutrition,Behavior &, June 24, 2004
    By Pat Gettner (Hastings, NE United States) - See all my reviews
    Great book for the those new and "not so new" to the ownership of poodles. It has been 11 years since we had a poodle puppy and even though we have had a poodle before---this book is very informative and fun to read. It is nice to know more about these wonderful friends we love to share our lives with.
