Nice book but with some faulty data
21 Nov 2003
Format:Paperback
This is the first breed book on the Papillon in a long time, and one of the few to be written by an American author. Dr. Hungerland is an AKC obedience and conformation judge of many years' experience, and she offers excellent advice on how to decide whether the Papillon is the breed for you, and when and how to acquire one. The book's many photographs are another of the volume's strengths, depicting pet Paps as well as show dogs, in a variety of settings. Unfortunately, when she gets to the subject of health problems (relatively few of which exist in this breed), Hungerland produces some seriously flawed (and unsupported) statistics, which give a very misleading picture of the breed. This is the book's only fault, but it is a serious one, and the misinformation certainly warrants retracting. Hopefully future editions will be corrected so that this book can be useful to prospective pet-owners for years to come.

it was okay...

I found more information on papillions, specifically-online! I found most of the information to be general as opposed to specific about the papillion breed. I recently brought home my papillion puppy, three weeks ago and I am not impressed. It is definately not a "complete pet owners manual".

A Must Have
13 Jan 2009
Format:Paperback
I am so glad I ordered this book. I was a little hesitant at first because it is a paperback, not a hardback. I tend to refer to my breed books so often that a hardback holds up better. However, I found this book to be very informative and corroborates the other two hardback books I bought on the Papillon. The three of them combined has convinced me that this is the next dog for me. I have mostly had herding dogs (GSD and Shelties). I found the personality, intelligence, and trainability of the Papillon to be much like my beloved Shelties. However, because they are a single coated breed, as opposed to a double coated (Sheltie), grooming is much easier, and shedding is not as big of a problem. In many ways, though, the breeds are similar, which will make my transition to a Pap an easier one. In fact my last Sheltie was small for a Sheltie with highly fringed (but perfectly tipped Sheltie) ears. I liked the fringe, though, and refused to clip it. Thus, the interest in the Pap. They are smaller, easier to travel with, easier to groom (without the heavy undercoat), and just as intelligent and trainable.
