 Good General Book, Cookie Cutter Poodle Book Jan 02, 2007
By Jessica Sabre
"poodles rock"
This book is a good general guide. If you are getting a poodle for the first time and do not have experience training dogs this book would be a good general guide with a few poodle specific facts (if you have not already bought a general guide). I was very disappointed in it as a "poodle book". There are a few paragraphs scattered throughout its pages, which were written (and well) by a poodle person. However, the rest of the book seems to have to the word "poodle" inserted where the word "dog" would be in any general guide. It is a cookie cutter attempt at a poodle book. Most of the poodle information is very basic anyhow, and I (as I hope any true poodle person would be) was turned off at the advocation of poodle mixes. There is not enough information guiding someone to rescue an older or mix poodle as opposed to buying a designer mix poo. Most poodle people are strictly against this. Also, there are not a lot of pictures, and the ones there are aren't very colorful or informative.

 Lives up to its title Aug 19, 2004
By Susan McCullough
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.

Best book by far about poodles May 19, 2005
By jasper799
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.

Everything you need to know about your Poodle Apr 28, 2008
By E. Miller
"dog lover"
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.

Answered most of my questions with sense Mar 29, 2009
By Sheila Michaels
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.
