 Recently Adopted a Beagle July 28, 2005

I ordered this book the day I brought our newly adopted 13 in Beagle home. He's 4 years old and my first Beagle. This book is extremely helpful to anyone who has been fortunate enough to have a Beagle to love!
 Get this book! Avoid "The Beagle Handbook" January 5, 2005

This is an excellent and concise introduction to beagles, as well as a training manual. The writing and organization are clear and succinct. The photos are wonderful, and if you don't already have a beagle, they may push you over the edge.
I received both this book and "The Beagle Handbook" as gifts shortly after adopting my first beagle. I found the latter to be terribly written -- to the point that it became difficult to continue reading on many occasions. The information contained is similar, though I think Kraeuter does a better job at summarizing her research, and is much more clear when discussing training. Most of all, her straight forward prose won't get in the way of your reading enjoyment.
If you buy only one Beagle book (and why would you buy more?) I highly recommend this one for its comprehensive information on the breed as well as its clear and easy-to-read presentation.
Excellent for the Dog Newbie February 16, 2003

My husband and I are considering several breeds, but we come back to the Beagle every time. Having never raised a dog on our own before, this book gave us a lot of things to think about that would never have occurred to us naturally.Unlike generalized books on training a new dog or puppy, this breed-specific approach appeals because - obviously - it addresses the temperament of the individual breed. Beagles, like a lot of hounds, can be tricky because of their intelligence, their strong pack instincts, and their scent-hound tendency to roam off on a scent trail. All of these things come to play during the training of a new Beagle, and a this book gives the prospective owner a much more complete picture than any general training book could. This book is also appealing because of its organized layout, clear language, and - to be honest - the GREAT pictures. It isn't written with a story-telling approach. It doesn't follow someone through the training of their own puppy or share funny anecdotes about someone's beloved family animal. Those books DO have their place, but this book was much more informational in its approach...and that's exactly what we were looking for. We found this little guide to be a great introduction to the reality of training a Beagle, and I'm sure it will be an indispensible tool that we return to again and again.
 A decent book on Beagle ownership February 3, 2003

I purchased this book and Rice's 'A Beagle Handbook'when I decided to adopt to beagle puppies. I have owned beagles before so am familliar with their behavior. This book was recommended.While I found the information in this book to be accurate, it didn't seem particularly 'user friendly.' I found the information too encylopeadic and scholarly. It did have good and accurate information, but it just was a little more complex than necessary. If you are considering a beagle or want a book on Beagle ownership, skip this and get 'A Beagle Handbook.' Information is the same, but a far superior book.
APPLAUSE FOR THIS BOOK March 4, 2002
12 out of 14 found this review helpful
This book gives readers an excellent overview of life with a beagle. I like the way training tips are given in addition to the general care of a beagle. Suggestions ranging from raising a hunting hound to a family pet are given; the section on breeding the hound is especially informative.As the owner of a wonderful female beagle, this book has been a valuable resource tool.
