The "Dummies" books follow a sort of basic pattern. There are funny cartoons and the approach to writing the material is simple and straightforward. POODLES FOR DUMMIES is no exception. It's got very funny cartoons from 5th Wave, and Susan Ewing has done a good job in covering all the basic Poodle info plus a little more.

The beginning of the book is a little weak and somewhat repetitive, but after the first few chapters the organization tightens up and by the end the book the author is covering some material that I haven't run across elsewhere, like alternative medicine for dogs.

An excellent introductory book. The writing is easy enough for interested tween and teens.

Just got a miniature poodle and found this book to be full of great advice......I highly recommend reading as much as possible about any pet before taking on the responsibility.

Like most of the "...For Dummies " series, this book answers all the questions and addresses all the issues a poodle owner would have and does so in a logical, concise and humorous fashion.
From the attractive color pictures of the various kinds and colors of poodles to the clever cartoons and illustrations, the book provided information in an easy to understand format . The icons used to hi-lite salient portions of each section are very useful, especially when re-reading a section for reinforced understanding.
While there is a certain vague familiarity with some of the prose (Where have I read that before??), I found the book virtually indispensible to me in acquiring knowledge about how my new family member thinks , acts and needs.
For me, it is a must- have addition to my dog library.

This book was not helpful at all. Maybe we arent dummies. What we have learned has been not found in any books we have bought.

Just an all around excellent book on the Poodle breed of dog. Book arrived on time and as described.
