Sniffing Down the Right Trail & Barking Up the Right Tree

As the owner of a rescue beagle, I found this book to be incredibly helpful. This book provides a full range of history about this delightful breed of hound. I was able to determine what materials and equipment my hound would need. It is an excellent book for all owners of beagles, from happy pet owners to people interested in showing their hounds. My beagle is a lovable and trusty pet, so I was mainly interested in the parts aimed at pet owners. A good book and no doubt beagle owners and those who love beagles will enjoy it as well.

This Book Is Bow-WOW!!!

Having grown up with a beagle, I thought I knew this breed, but author Kim Campbell Thornton pleasantly surprised me with new facts and insights into all that is Beagle. Her book covers everything you need from nose to the white tip of the tail. I especially enjoyed the Beagle Bonus pullout boxes. This is a must read for anyone blessed to have a Beagle in their life.

Has made life with a Beagle a positive experience

Just had to comment on The Complete Idiot's Guide to Beagles...a couple of years ago I decided that I'd like to have a beagle again...I had one during my teen years...and thought that a little research was in order. I was right and this book covered so many facets of beagle behavior that I realized that I would have to learn to accomodate if I was to have a meaningful realtionship with one of the little darlings. The book gave me a much better idea of what my expectations should be and what kinds of compromises and precautions I would have to make to make beagle ownership a joy and not a trial for both me and the dog. Both Poochie and I give it five stars!

Great Help

Found this book to be the answer to all. Very enlightening!

Very helpful!

We rescued our beagle from a shelter, and prior to that, knew the basics of the breed. This book has been very helpful in giving us the details that are particular to beagles. It's very well-written, and easy to read. I especially like the authors use of "sidebars" to give the reader interesting and useful tidbits. This is a great book for beginning beagle owners!
