Good - but not great.

This is a good book about pugs but here is the breakdown of the book. It has 158 pages total, 93 pages apply to pugs but the rest are generic for any dog. The book covers ancestry of the pug, behavior, where to get a pug, dealing with a new pug puppy/adult, feeding, grooming (coat, nose, ears, eyes and mouth) nails, general disease prevention, safety and exercise. The best part of the book is the grooming section though I would have to say that most of the other sections cover pugs rather marginally. I have found much more detailed information on web sites. I would say it is a great book for someone who is considering a pug as a pet and wants to know their history and general information, but for a new owner, I'd choose a more detailed guide to care for your pug.

I really like to buy one of the books.

I really like to receive o copy of the book in Spanis

This book has practical advise to offer a new pug owner.

This is a wonderful book that is full of useful information for new pug owners. It gives specific advise on preparing for your new puppy. It covers everything from supplies you will need to grooming tips. It even includes a section on basic training.
