This Book is just great because it has a lot of good structured information in it about almost every thing. I also like a lot that it has a lot detailed medical info with tips and advise about (even natural) treatments and preventions. I think its oneof the best dog books I ever read without the book being too huge/redundant.

I am going to be owning one of these dogs very soon and I wanted to have as much information about them as possible. This book provided history (such as all American line Chinese Crested can be traced to Gypsy Rose Lee!) as well as health, grooming and training information. I would recommend this book to anyone who wanted to learn more about this wonderful breed.

Having a 5 month old Crested puppy, I purchased this book to find out more about the breed, and I did. Yes, you can surf the web and get info, but in this book, the information is all together in one spot. The book is well organized and gives general information on almost every topic. What I liked about this book over other books is the fact that the book gives the differences between the hairless and the powderpuff, which is what my puppy is. For every new Crested owner, this is a great reference book.

I have come across millions of crested books, and this is by far my favorite. it is extremely informative, and very detailed. the pictures are great. it covers everything you would need to know, right down to alot of diseases, illness's, flea treatment, things not just associated with the breed. the history section was FABULOUS!

great pictures, great book, worth every penny.

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Excellent detail oriented breed book for Chinese Cresteds. Lots of wonderful background information on where the breed originated. This is a must have for anyone considering or even who owns a Chinese Crested. One of the much better written breed books.

An excellent book, very informative, full of pictures, and a complete guide to owning and caring for a Chinese Crested. This books goes into detail on the special needs of the hairless and pom-pom varitees and I was very pleased with the book. This author discusses the training methods that work well with the Cresteds. There are special section on housetraining; the need to socialize a puppy or adult dog well. There is a great deal of information on the Chinese Crested medical needs, and even a section on elder care. Unlike so many books that claim to be 'comprehensive,' this wonderful book truly is. I adopted a special needs, hairless Chinese Crested, from the Humane Society of Missouri when he was 9 months old. He was a puppy mill rescue. This great book has been my guide for my new best friend, Chester! Be sure to adopt your new best friend from a shelter, or rescue organization.

Very beautiful book with very beautiful photographs of the heaps of explanations for the care and grooming and in more it is not published in French , very invaluable.

I purchased a hairless Chinese Crested. First, I read this book. The 8 week old pup I had flown to me developed coccidia (stress of weaning, leaving mom, travel, new home, new owners) after two days, which then led to hypoglycemia (stopped eating and blood sugar crashed) and died within one week. This book doesn't stress the fact that "toy" puppies can easily have this problem and what to do at the early signs to save its life. Unfortunately, my Vet didn't know what to do either. I learned from surfing the web, after the problem. That would be your best bet to learn about this breed, including possible problems that the book does not cover.
