Customer Reviews

Read this book before choosing a Beagle....

....then you will be educated about Beagle behavior, training, care, etc. Beagles are NOT for everyone even though they are full of love and devotion. For example, Beagles are ruled by their noses and therefore will stick their cute little muzzles into everything they can. They also LOVE food and you will have to train your Beagle or know beforehand you will have your Beagle wanting to share your dinner with you. If you don't have the time or inclination to love, pay attention to, and care for your Beagle, don't even bother buying this book. These dogs are so special and so full of love that they deserve guardians who will love them and give them the care they deserve.

A dog-saver!!

I bought this after I adopted a year-old female beagle from a shelter. I didn't know what I had let myself in for!! Beagles, being "hound" dogs, march to the beat of a different drummer. . .i.e., their noses!! This book really helped me understand what drives beagles and address the issues of re-training her for her new home. I now keep it as a reference, to remind myself that I was the one needing training in Beagle-speak!!!

Great book for people who have never had a Beagle.

I have had several diffent breeds of dogs over my lifetime, but never had a beagle. We rescued our Beagle in Virginia where we were Camping with our RV. She had been wandering the campground since May The people who worked at the campground discovered her wandering and found she had recently had puppies because her nipples were pink and here it was August and no one had claimed her, The people who worked for the campground who took care of her were told by the manager if she is not adopted or claimed by September she will have to go to the pound. This was very upsetting to my husband and I. I went to the library and searched for books related to Beagles I read several and found this one to be the most informative for housebreaking, training, and giving information about beagles, their characteristics and temperment. I recommend this book to anyone who never had a beagle and those who already own one it will be useful to both.

BEAGLES -- THE HOUND OF CHOICE

I have a wonderful beagle that I adopted from the Humane Society when she was a little less than a year old. This book gives an excellent overview in the overall care and personality of beagles. The photographs will certainly delight any dog lover and especially anyone who owns a beagle. These winsome, intelligent, alert little hounds are popular pets and this book is a welcome teaching tool for those seriously interested in beagle care. This author has done an excellent job of communicating information that practically all ages can absorb. For beagle lovers and/or beagle owners, this is one book to have.

Excellent Reference Book

I adopted a 3yr old Beagle from the pound a year ago and wish I had had this book. It tells you all about Beagle personality and how to help correct problems specific to the breed. The author really did her homework talking to breeders and current beagle owners. In addition to beagle-specific topics, there is a lot of good general "how to raise a dog" information. I highly recommend this book for those who are currently owned by a Beagle (or will be in the future).
