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.
Book Description
Clad in its leonine garb, the Pekingese pays homage to the lion whose appearance it resembles. This quaint Chinese toy dog possesses a characteristic large head, adorned with a profuse mane and a long straight coat over its small well-balanced body. Revered for its fearless and loyal disposition, the Pekingese was the jealously guarded possession of the Royal Palace, and today has countless admirers throughout the world. This book provides the much-needed factual information about the Pekingese and its ancestry, character and standard, as well as puppy selection, feeding, training, preventative health care and showing. The new owner will welcome advice about preparing for the pup's arrival, housebreaking and preventing puppy problems.
In addition to a comprehensive authoritative text, this book presents over 135 photographs in full color, which prove to be as informative as they are attractive. Helpful hints and important information are highlighted to provide easy access to everything the reader needs to know about life with a Pekingese from puppyhood to the senior years.

Lovely Peke's.......2001-09-20
This book was very easy to read and understand,however, very few chapters were soley deticated to information on the pekingese breed. I have had dogs before and I didn't need general information on dogs. I was looking for specific information on the pekingese breed and unfortunately found very little.
beautiful pictures.......2001-06-01
Lots of pictures. This book contains valuable information however, not much information is given for those that want to show your peke.

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.

Not as good as I expected.......2005-10-17
I ADORE anything related to Pekingese, so I bought this book with great anticipation. Unfortunately, it turned out to be vastly different from what I had expected. The writing style is not very coherent, there's not really a "story" - if you want to read the story, the description of the book on Amazon tells it all. And that's the only interesting part.
The pictures are all in black and white, and the book itself was not bound very well.
Even if you love dog stories, this one would be very hard to "get into". Sorry, but I simply cannot recommend this book for anyone but the most die-hard dog-story lovers.
Addison leaves the others in the dust.......2004-12-21
What a wise, wonderful, and handsome dog Addison is! I love him. What a delight to read his ambitious and eye-opening book.
Appropriately, Addison first introduces us -- in "Addison the Wonder Dog" -- to the amazing range of his interests and abilities. How can he accomplish so much, yet still find time to eat!
Then comes the meaty part of the book -- "Addison Solves Personal and Planetary Problems." He goes boldly and with humor where many two-footed authors have pussyfooted, or entirely feared to tread. And he doesn't mince words (only filet mignon). Addison clearly recognizes the difference between reality and spin. As Abraham Lincoln's dog said: "If you call a tail a leg, how many legs does a dog have? Four. Calling a tail a leg doesn't make it one." Addison gives great advice on everything from love to taxes.
Throughout his book, Addison's style is fragrant and his candor refreshing. He leaves his unique and memorable pawprint on every subject. Whether you belong to a dog, or just love them from a distance, you will thoroughly enjoy Addison's book. He even thoughtfully offers a cornucopia of information and sources for futher study of his ideas. Truly, pearls of wisdom fall from his furry little snout on every page.
Three cheers for Addison and his remarkable book! (And for Trisha, for her loving and articulate rendering of his vision.)
Cute Book Fun For Young People Interested in Ideas.......2004-12-03
This is a cute and fun book that would be of interest to teenagers and young adults who are interested in ideas and silliness both. I genuinely enjoyed reading it! The chapter on Philosophy will have you in stitches if you've ever read any hi-brow material from that field.
The Pekinese who Commands Respect.......2003-09-10
Have you ever wondered what your dog might really be thinking about? Well Sir Addison Silber Howell, Esq. in "The Pekinese Who Saved Civilization," is about to tell you! Now he might not be able to write per se, but his words, thoughts and philosophy have been captured by his head servant/slave, Trisha Adelena Howell, so that all of us mere humans may benefit from his wise words.
You see, the self-knighted Sir Addison is a "thinking dog," and therefore naturally superior to mortals and other animal species alike. From poet and sculptor to literary genius, philosopher and psychoanalyst, Sir Addison shares his view of the world and tells us, precisely, why we should be eternally grateful not only to him, but also to GOD - the "Great Omniscient Dog (spirit).
Apparently, despite claims by many that we humans are on a path to self-destruction, Sir Addison very kindly takes us by the hand (paw?) and reveals the true history of the world. With his canine knowledge, we can solve many of our problems and thus save civilization.
Sir Addison is a proud Pekinese indeed, but his logic and quirky nature binds us to him instantly. Prepare to eat a great deal of humble pie as he points out our faults, but he points them out so eloquently that dog-lovers everywhere will do the very thing that Addison wishes - listen!
In a world where society in general seeks to find answers, to the point where we question the questions, Sir Addison's theories are simple and often motivating. Urging us to understanding, his theories are wonderfully displayed and modeled with accompanying black and white photographs that display his talents to the fullest.
Sir Addison commands reverence and respect at all times as we progress through the book, but seeing as he's sharing such knowledge and wisdom with us, we are compelled to bow at every stage, and as we nod our heads in agreement with the wise words displayed before us, we will lament loudly and ask ourselves, "Now why didn't I think of that?" Addison's words themselves will tell us why:
"...Because you are so cut off from your own bodily rhythms and true feelings. It's amazing to me how many of you humans are out of touch with your true needs, desires, goals and genital odors."
Hail Sir Addision...where have you been all of our lives? Funny, inspirational and delightful Sir! Dog-owners everywhere will applaud you!
Excellent book!.......2003-09-10
THE PEKINESE WHO SAVED CIVILIZATION is described as telling the true history of the world, but from a canine's point of view. The dog's name is Addison. First, he opens the book with inspiring words of wisdom. His comments are surreal. He knows his stuff. Addison could successfully organize a support group. Addison could run for Mayor of his town! Heck, Addison could be our next President!
After wonderful words from such an adorable speaker, he then continues by taking on many roles as he saves civilization.
Addison the Impersonator gives a comical impersonation of Albert Einstein and the Sphinx, while Addison the Snowshoer shows style and sophistication while climbing a dangerous mountain. Addison has it all.
Get a copy of THE PEKINESE WHO SAVED CIVILIZATION, due out September 15, 2003, and join Addison on his global adventures. You will enjoy learning of how he would solve planetary dilemmas such as love troubles, drugs and alcohol addictions, food shortages, religion controversies, and much more.
