I have bought practically every Chihuahua book on the market and found this one to be the absolute best. The author seems to genuinely love this breed and it shows throughout her book. It was such an enjoyable read without becoming generic in certain chapters as I have seen so many times before with other authors. Mrs. O'Neil gave each hypothetical chihuahua a name which enhanced her comfortable writing style. I have found more information in this one book than all the others combined. All in all, I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Chihuahuas.

I purchased and read Chihuahua's for Dummies just before purchasing my Chihuahua puppy. This book has been a great help with everything from understanding the Chihuahua mind to breed-specific training and housebreaking tips. I highly recommend this book to any first-time Chihuahua owner because it helps to answer the myriad of questions that you will have once you bring your puppy home.

I purchased this book shortly after adopting my first Chihuahua from a rescue organization. I had owned several and worked with hundreds of dogs previously (I'm a veterinary student) and found this book to be an excellent jumping-off point for those who have little dog ownership experience. However, the material on potty-training, safety, vet care and many other subjects were just standard non-breed specific information. I found myself flipping through the book idly and found very little information that was new to me.
If you have never owned a dog, or have little experience with dog ownership and are considering a Chihuahua, definitely buy or borrow this book. But if you have a decade of being a doggy mom (or dad) under your belt, pass this book up for good old research with other Chi owners and breeders. It has enough redundant information to make spending the $16 seem silly.

That's what the title of this book should have been. I have always loved Chihuahuas. I recently bought this book with some of my Christmas money, and it was well worth the $16.00 I spent on it! This book was easy and fun to read! It provided me with all the information I needed to know about my favorite breed, the Chihuahua! I recommend this book to anyone who owns a Chihuahua, is thinking about getting one, or, like me, is planning on getting the best breed on the planet Earth! This book has a great layout, and is humorous as well! There are also a lot of really adorable pictures of Chihuahuas. BUY IT!

I have read a couple of other books about Chihuahuas. This one was the absolute best. It provides a lot of insightful information into the mind of a Chi. There are a lot of questions that I had about my dog's temperament and they were all answered while reading this book. I will keep it and refer back to it for a long time. I have a much better understanding of my dog after reading this book. I realized that my spoiling him because he's a little dog was not the best thing for him.

I found this book to be very easy and fun to read, plus extremely informative. It's a great book to buy BEFORE you get your Chihuahua because it puts everything into perspective. After I got my two Chihuahua puppies I carefully followed this book's instructions and my puppies immediately learned to be very obedient and it wasn't long before they were potty trained inside and outside the house. I highly recommend it!

I am very pleased with this book.. It is so much fun, having this book on the shelf. As a chihuahua owner I do feel like a dummy at times and this book offers advice on how to handle different situations.

This book is very well written. It gives 215 pages of info on how to select a heathy chihuahua, potty-train it, take it to the doctor, EVERYTHING!!!!!! If you are thinking about getting a chihuahua this is the book to buy!!!!

This book was very informative. Chihuahuas are very smart and loving little dogs, who often have a bad reputation. The book has a great section on manners, so that the myth about chihuahuas can be changed. If you are thinking about getting a puppy or an older dog, this is the book to read.

I found this book to be well laid out, simple to read and understand, and gave all the information you could possibley want to know about Chihuahua's!
