Occasionally, we have a litter of Toy Poodles This book contains the minimum information on poodles that I'd want the prospective buyer to have. If not, I don't think that we'd sell them a puppy.

Good information, but index does not match page numbers
This book is informative, but the index does not match the page numbers so it is not possible to reference topics at-a-glance. I had to return it.

Great Book!
This book is a MUST for a Poodle buyer! It has everthing you need to know about the raising of Poodles. Breeders: A very good book to give to someone buying a Poodle from you!
