The Everything Poodle Book: A Complete Guide to Raising, Training, and Caring for Your Poodle

An older Phantom tiny toy found me: definitely not a dog I'd have bought, but such a smart, diplomatic, delightful little guy. My mother had poodles & I liked them, but never thought of having one, myself. I'd been thinking the little ones were dim-witted & hard to train: but not at all. Everything that worried me, I looked up & found an answer for. How to brush, what kind of brush, what about those mats & tangles, & c. But most important--a deal breaker--I thought I had a problem with willful occasional accidents in a seemingly well-trained dog. Adams says that neutering him will solve that. (There Are Ladies Present, so we already had the appointment.) I would definitely recommend this book. It speaks plainly in a straightforward way. I find it really, really useful.

I found this book to be very helpful. I used the training techniques, which were written well and easy to understand. Also the history and temperament of the Poodle gave me great insight. I wish I had gotten this book when I first got my Poodle.

I NEEDED THE INFORMATION IN THIS BOOK WHEN I BOUGHT A POODLE PUP AND GOT IT HOME TO FIND OUT IT WAS ONLY 7 WEEKS OLD AND HAD ONLY THE 4 FANGS NO OTHER TEETH. IT WILL CONTINUE TO HELP ME RAISING THIS WONDERFUL, SMART, SWEET POODLE.

Lots of information that I had never read anywhere else, and I've read a lot of dog books. It is obvious the author loves dogs. My only complaint is just not enough pictures. But great, great book.

Janine Adams has written the definitive guide to living with and loving poodles. Her lively, well-written text answers every conceivable question that a person who lives with a poodle -- or would like to live with one -- could possibly ask. Without question, this book is a five-star opus.
