Poodles

This new title in B.E.S. series of Dog Bibles focuses on Poodles. These elegant, highly intelligent dogs come in a variety of sizes. They should be kept active, because when idle they become bored and are prone to mischief. B.E.S. Dog Bibles present veterinarian-approved advice and information on specific dog breeds. Each book describes the title breed's traits, history, behavior, characteristics, and recommended training methods. Written especially for first-time owners, titles in this series advise readers on what to look for when choosing a puppy, explain how breed-specific traits influence the relationship between dog and owner, and describe potential breed-specific health problems to look out for. Attractive sidebars present fun facts, helpful hints, and quick tips on training. A hidden spiral binding ensures that the book stays open and flat at any desired page. The DVD enclosed with each book presents an informal dog training course for new owners. It describes housetraining methods, walking dogs on a leash, and teaching obedience using hand signals and vocal commands. Each book is filled with attractive color photos.
