This new book by a foremost breed authority tells readers everything they will need to know to understand this unique little dog, to find the right puppy and to care for and enjoy their very own canine ambassador from the court of Imperial China.

The Complete Pekingese.......2002-09-21

I was needing a book about the behaviors, training tips, and how to care for my dog. This book is about the breed, where it all started, and the breeding lines. It would be good for someone wanting to show or breed their Pekingese.

Expert advice from the expert.......2000-09-14

I recently (as in a week ago) bought a delightful male Peke puppy named Tai, and we will be going to our first puppy match in a few days. This book has been immeasureably helpful in outlining the show process and I have gleaned much information from its pages. The detailed descriptions of champions of the past was particularly helpful, as I am now quite familiar with many of the kennel names such as Toydom, St. Aubrey-Eldson (where the famous St. Aubrey Dragonora, Westminster BIS winner in 1982, hailed from), and the author's own kennel, Shiarita. I advise anyone who is even thinking of letting this wonderful breed into your lives, to buy this book.

Review of "The Complete Pekingese".......2000-06-23

I am a Pekingese breeder and Ms. Stannard's book lived up to my every expectation. Her writing is clear and concise. The photos of the dogs are well done, especially the grooming photos. This book shows the absolute cream of the crop of English dogs and is not to be missed by any serious Pekingese fancier. The book not only speaks about current top English dogs and kennels, but makes great reference to the great kennels of the past. There is also a chapter on North American dogs. I am sure that this book will find it's way to the bookshelves of most Pekingese breeders.

Pleased with Peke Book.......2005-10-12

This small book does a good job covering many relevant topics about Pekes. I was pleased with the contents and would recommend the book to individuals who are considering on buying a Pekingese. The pictures alone will charm you into making the purchase.

Pekingese: (Complete Pet Owner's Manual).......2003-03-22

This is an excellent book for a first time Pekingese owner!! For someone who knows the breed(and I truly mean knows- I've had my boy for a year and a half and I still learned things), it might not be as helpful. It's easy to read and at times shows a little humor. It covers everything a responsible pet owner should know. It even included first aid techniques in case of emergencys, some basic training steps, grooming, etc. Definately an A+ book written by someone who knows what they're talking about.

Nothing sticks out.......2003-03-10

Yes, this is a pleasant, short, brief book about the Pekingese. However, it's not any different than any other book about the Pekingese breed. The information is very generic, and if you search around personal sites online or just visit breeder's pages, you'll find the same info. At points, I felt like the book became a generic dog care book, giving advice for any breed of dog. It isn't peke-specific enough. For example, they should've had a chart that listed how many calories of food or vitamins pekes need at different life stages and weather. Pekes may be small dogs, but they are heavier and require different nutrition than other breeds. One would expect a book titled "Pekingese" to be tailored to a Peke's needs but the info that is provided for feeding can also be found in a book for any other dog. Do you think a peke needs the same nutrition as a Dalmation? No. It's a good book for those that have never had a dog before, or don't have the slightest clue about the Pekingese. However, if you are already a peke-companion and were looking for helpful peke-specific info, this book doesn't provide info that you don't already know.

Pekingese: Everything about Purchase, Care, Nutrition, Breed.......2002-09-21

I am buying a pekingese and this book is so helpful! I feel more knowledgeable and will be able to purchase with more confidence. I will also be able to get the grooming aids, etc. prior to the puppy coming home.

Breeders - sell this with your puppies!.......2002-06-24

This does what it says and is a good guide for pet owners who have not had a peke before. You could do worse than sell it with each puppy, if you are a responsible breeder.
