Pekingese: (Complete Pet Owner's Manual)

This is an excellent book for a first time Pekingese owner!! For someone who knows the breed(and I truly mean knows- I've had my boy for a year and a half and I still learned things), it might not be as helpful. It's easy to read and at times shows a little humor. It covers everything a responsible pet owner should know. It even included first aid techniques in case of emergencys, some basic training steps, grooming, etc. Definately an A+ book written by someone who knows what they're talking about.

Great For Beginning Pet Owners

When I bought my first peke, as a novice dog owner, I bought this book for reference - it turned out to be a life saver! Easily understandable, it's also extremely informative with plenty of helpful tips on how to care for, train and groom your peke. There's even a section that covers common ailments associated with the species and what to do in case of an emergency. One of the most helpful books I've ever read on the breed.

A must have book for those who admire this little "Lion Dog"

I bought this book in order to learn all I could about the Pekingese breed. I wasn't disappointed. It's nicely written, very informative and easy to read. (The wonderful photos are an added bonus.) Caroline Coile obviously has a long-time, loving relationship with the Peke. After reading it, I was convienced. We adopted our own Peke and now use it daily to learn more about the needs of our wonderful new family member. The information is very informative, helpful and acurate. We and our dog are much happier due to the information we gained from Dr. Coile's book. What a bargin!

Good for novices of the breed

A good book for beginners. It tends to concentrate more on the pet aspects of the Pekingese, with emphasis on training and general care. It also advises novice Peke owners to not attempt breeding, as they are a difficult breed to whelp. A bit of the background is given, and there are many nice photographs (and drawings) of the breed. Not particularly useful for those who intend to show their Peke, but has very helpful information for people who just want a nice, well-behaved (albeit endearingly stubborn) little lion dog.

Great Informative Book

This is a great book. It gives you alot of info about the breed, including problems associated with the breed, and things to look out for. A must for any peke owner, particularly for a first time peke owner.
