This book is not about Pugs; it is a book about general dog care with several photographs of Pugs so that it could be sold as a book on Pugs. If you want a book about Pugs, pick up THE ESSENTIAL PUG by Ian Dunbar or, better yet, PUGS: A COMPLETE PET OWNER'S MANUAL by Phil Maggitti.

This is the first and only time I have felt scammed by a book.

This would be the book for you if you were interested in a general book about dog care with many nice pug pictures. The general section (the vast majority of the book) is reasonably well done. However, the section specific to the breed was shockingly short, was filled with "cutsie" pleasantries, and lacked useful content. It should have been titled "Dog Care and Maintenance, With a Preface in Praise of Pugs."

If you were only to buy one pug book, this isn't it. I am a new pug owner and needed a resource that was specific to my new friend. This book had only about 20 pages that had to do with pugs, the rest was generic, not much help. So let's say it doesn't bother you that you won't find a thing out about pugs, well another big reason to avoid this book at all costs is it looks like a 1974 printing. How much of the information is out dated?
