REVIEWS

"This is a delightful read covering every conceivable area of Poodle ownership. The information is clear, concise & digestible, I particularly like the "Tips" that appear from start to finish. I think this book, more than any other Poodle book I've read, encompasses the totality of owning this breed. If you own a Poodle, or are considering getting one, this book should be on your shelf. It's THAT good!" GOPHER GAL, USA

”I have only recently come across poodles - my, now 7 month old, toy poodle pup being the extremely serendipitous result of a search for an entirely different breed! I have only had this book for a few days but have found it extremely informative, well written & hugely well-researched… The book covers every question I have had & will, I am confident, be able to help me as my pup grows to maturity & settles himself into my little 'pack'! I can thoroughly recommend it to anyone considering embarking on the joyous journey of poodle ownership!” GABRIELLE HARVEY-JONES, UK

“The book surpassed my expectations with the information given & how it was laid out. I learn something new every time I review a different chapter. This is a must-read for any poodle enthusiast or any person new to poodles," JESSE WIRTES, USA

“#1 book for poodles. This book will teach you everything you need to know about poodles, training tips, health tips & more. I loved learning more about my beautiful standard!” NORTHWOODS252, USA
