The writing made it easy to read through and understand. I haven't read many ... for Dummies book but if they are easy like this one, I should read more of them. I would suggest this one for your tweens and teens as it is so easy to follow and they can get the information to help prepare for a pug.

An easy go-to guide for Pug owners. Also good for general research of the breed before making the decision to add a Pug to your family.

This book was very helpful with training our Pug. It was easy to read and the information provided was enjoyable. I refer to it quite often for reassurance.

There's some good information here for new dog owners, but the writing itself is painful. If I have to hear the author refer to a dog as "Puggy" one more time...
