I RAISE AND BREED AKC CHIHUAHUAS. I HAVE LOVED THEM AND OWNED THEM SINCE I WAS A CHILD. THEY ARE MY BABIES AND MY PRIDE AND JOY. I TRY TO KEEP MY NEW OWNERS AS KNOWLEDGABLE AS POSSIBLE
WITH THEIR NEW PETS. THIS BOOK IS LIKE A BIBLE TO ME. I TELL EVERYONE WHO BUYS A CHIHUAHUA FROM ME TO PURCHASE THIS BOOK. IT HAS SO MUCH HELPFUL AND INFORMATIVE INFORMATION. NOT ONLY AS A BREEDER, DO I ENJOY THE BOOK, BUT, I STILL USE IT TO LOOK UP CERTAIN THINGS THAT I MIGHT HAVE FORGOTTEN. I THINK ALL NEW CHIHUAHUA OWNERS SHOULD HAVE THIS BOOK!

This book was great. Unlike many other books, this helpful guide dealt with chihuahua's specifically, instead of a general dog guide. It tells of everything u need to know to raise a healthy chihuahua. I find it essential!

I purchases 3 other books along with this one and was disapointed in all the others. This book has information for all levels of dog owners and specific details that the other books left out. A great resource for chihuahua information.

As a new, and relatively uninformed, chihuahua owner, this book was a wonderful source of information about this small breed dog. Of particular interest to us were the chapters on nutrition, health, and grooming. It also had a chapter that helped with the question of whether to breed or not.

I am a first time Chihuahua owner. This book has been such a big help! Our vet was impressed by how much I know about this wonderful breed! I would recommend this book to any Chi owner!
It was also a very easy read!

This book was a quick read, but full of knowledge! I have always liked the Barron's dog editions, and this one was great too! It gave wonderful information when purchasing a puppy, what to look for, questions to ask, as well as training tips, grooming tips and more. Some subjects are a bit vague, and you might need another book for, but besides that, just for general understanding of a Chihuahua, this is a wonderful book and I highly recommend it! :-)

I have bred, shown and handled many breeds in my time and have many general and specific breed oriented books. This may be a small book, but like the breed it is about, good things come in small packages! General care info, lots of pictures and illustrations and a very well written guide to our smallest canine. A real tribute to the lady's talent for instruction with interest as well. I highly recommend it. It is worth every penny!

THIS IS A MUST FOR ALL CHI OWNERS.I ADORE THESE LITTLE DOGS WHO ARE HIGHLY INTELLIGENT AND TOTALLY CAPTIVATING...THEY ARE NOT 'PLAYTHINGS' - AS PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T COME INTO CONTACT WITH THE BREED MISTAKENLY BELIEVE - BUT LITTLE 'PEOPLE', AND GREAT PSYCHOLOGISTS! THEY ALL LOVE BEING CUDDLED, BUT ALSO, TAKE A LOT OF PRIDE IN ANY TASK U SET THEM, AND MAKE IT QUITE OBVIOUS THAT THEY ARE ENJOYING THEMSELVES...BUT, BEWARE...UNLESS U FIND OUT ALL ABOUT THEM BY STUDYING AND REFERRING TO, FOR EXAMPLE, THIS BOOK, U WILL NOT KNOW WHAT CHIS ARE CAPABLE OF & MOST IMPORTANTLY THEIR CARE & NEEDS..THE DESCRIPTION BELOW THE TITLE OF THE BOOK IS SELF-EXPLANATORY. EVERY CHI IS A NEW CHALLENGE AS THEY ARE ALL DIFFERENT. TRAIN THEM STARTING EARLY AND IT WILL REAP RICH REWARDS..LAUGH AT THIS STATEMENT AND THEY WILL HAVE U AT THE END OF THE LEAD! TREAT THIS BOOK AS A BIBLE. I REFER TO IT ALMOST DAILY WITH MY LATEST CHI WHO IS JUST 10 MONTHS OLD & HAS HAD A MIND OF HER OWN FROM WHEN HER BREEDER BROUGHT HER TO MY HOUSE AT 14 WEEKS.

I own 2 Chihuahuas and have about 10 other chi books and this Is By far the best It tells you the things to consider before getting a chihuahua and what there like and great pictures
