This book is nearly identical, text-wise, to "The Essential Pug". These are both good, but about half of the info is generic for any breed. I'd recommend "The Essential Pug" (which, interestingly enough, has no author listed). It's several dollars cheaper and the pictures are much better.

This is a good book about pugs but here is the breakdown of the book. It has 158 pages total, 93 pages apply to pugs but the rest are generic for any dog. The book covers ancestry of the pug, behavior, where to get a pug, dealing with a new pug puppy/adult, feeding, grooming (coat, nose, ears, eyes and mouth) nails, general disease prevention, safety and exercise. The best part of the book is the grooming section though I would have to say that most of the other sections cover pugs rather marginally. I have found much more detailed information on web sites. I would say it is a great book for someone who is considering a pug as a pet and wants to know their history and general information, but for a new owner, I'd choose a more detailed guide to care for your pug.

This book has many topics, but barely touches on each one, only giving you a few lines for each topic. Definately not enough to get any kind of useful information from.
Extremely disappointed with this book.

An o.k. book with great pictures. The majority addresses dogs in general, not Pug specific issues, which is what I was looking for....

This is a wonderful book that is full of useful information for new pug owners. It gives specific advise on preparing for your new puppy. It covers everything from supplies you will need to grooming tips. It even includes a section on basic training.

I really like to receive o copy of the book in Spanis
