I not only like this book, I send it home with all my pups. It has up to date info, great photos and necessary info for new pug owners. I think it is a great book for the basic pet pug owner & because it is reasonably priced I am able to offer it to my customers. Highly recommend!!!!!

If you want to learn about pugs, read this book, and then go out and buy another book about pugs.

"The Essential Pug" is a hodgepodge of little bits of information, most of it not specific to pugs.

The chapter "On Good Behavior" takes a lot of time to tell you basically nothing. But the author of the chapter seems to agree with me that you need to look to other sources: "Find out all you can about your chosen breed first [the book is supposed to be for pug owners], then master rudimentary training and handling skills."

No kidding.

Only a few sections are really about pugs. Other places plugged the name "pug" into pre-existing material. But a lot of places they didn't even bother with that. "...your chosen breed."


4 out of 5 stars Good book, great pictures   August 18, 1999

This book, text-wise, is nearly identical to "The Pug:An owner's guide" by Patterson. It's decent, but nothing spectacular. About half the info is generic to any breed (training, illnesses, etc.) This book, though, has wonderful photos. So adorable! It's also several dollars cheaper. I'd recommend this book over "The Pug", but the book by Phil Magitti is better than both.
