5.0 out of 5 stars
Finally, a pug book with no pictures of dobermans!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pugs: Everything About Purchase, Care, Nutrition, Breeding, Behavior, and Training With 43 Color Photographs (Complete Pet Owner's Manual) (Paperback)
Does anyone else hate when pug books have pictures of other breeds, like Dobermans, when they're trying to explain things like training? Well, I do. But I can truthfully say that this pug book is the best, dealing only with pugs, and picturing only pugs, in all their snub-nosed glory. It is easy to understand, yet detailed enough to satisfy both young as well as adult readers. Wonderful job!!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great introduction to pugs,
This review is from: Pugs (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
This was the first book on pugs I bought. It is really all about pugs and was written by a pug breeder and lover. Lots of great pictures. Specific and honest information about pugs, their common health problems, how to train them, etc. The authors includes some cute stories about his pugs and their antics. This is a good introduction.

Now, that's more like it!,
This review is from: Pugs (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
This book is only about pugs. It's not a generic dog book with the name "pug" plugged in -- as were two books I bought before I found this one. The author owns pugs, loves them, and knows all about them. He also has a great sense of humor. Pugs are a unique breed and this book has a lot of information specific to pugs. Great pictures!
