Summary: Great modern book!
Review: I really enjoyed this book! All the info is up to date, and it has really good new training tips. As someone who has worked with pets for some time I found lots of good tips and info I would have usually needed more then one book to get. This would be a great book for a first time beagle owner or someone who has had them for years,

Summary: Good all-around "reference" info on the Beagle!
Review: In adopting our rescue beagle, Lucy, earlier this year, I needed a good reference book, giving me the history & care material necessary for understanding & working with a Beagle--this was my winner! I perused, read through, and really "reviewed" several books at my local libraries, and decided upon this one as the best to put in my reference library at home. Not only is it very informative, to the point, and full of great advice and tips on getting to know your beagle, it does not focus too heavily on the show aspect of a beagle. I found that many books on a dog will be almost 50% to 60% focused on how to breed the dog, teach it "show-quality" skills, and succeed in the competition arena. Being a casual family dog owner, I didn't need any of this info! Good book, and worth the time and money invested. Happy Beagling!

Summary: Excellent Book!
Review: This is a very comprehensive book and has been very useful. What I liked about this book is that the author has a sense of humor, as you need to have one if you own a beagle, and that makes for great reading.
On the downside I would say that the book doesn't have enough pictures/photo's of beagles. You need to have a few to say "agh cute", etc.
Other than that it helped tremendously with understanding my new beagle puppy.
