| At long last, the Standard Poodle - the largest of the three Poodle varieties - has a book to itself, concentrating on its history and development, and highlighting the Standard's unique character and working ability.
The Poodle's ancient origins are traced, from its role as a water-retriever, to its appeal as one of the most glamorous of show dogs. In a special section, there is unique coverage of the versatile Standard Poodle, highlighting its talents in many different spheres - Obedience and Agility, as a guide dog for the blind and a therapy dog - and, most surprisingly of all, as a racing sled dog.
There is an in-depth analysis of the Breed Standard and for the first-time owner, advice is given on choosing a puppy, training, exercise, coat care and nutrition, and for the specialist, there is comprehensive coverage of breeding and rearing a litter.
Illustrated with more than 150 top-quality colour and black-and-white photographs, this book is essential reading. RRP: £19.95
Seapets Price: £11.45
