This review is from: The Essential Chihuahua (Essential (Howell)) (Paperback)

This book is nothing more than the published glorification of the Chihuahua breed. Not in-depth at all and has absolutely no value to someone who wants to take SERIOUS care of the animal. Might as well title it "The Essential Dog". Very general look at caring for dogs - as a whole! "Essentially" an unnecessary purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT BOOK, INVALUABLE RESOURCE, May 14, 2011

This review is from: The Essential Chihuahua (Essential (Howell)) (Paperback)

This is a great book containing valuable information what to do to keep your chihuahua healthy. It provides room for personalization with your dog picture, name, license no, DOB, vet's info, feeding instructions, and more. It's an invaluable in-depth resource about the proper taking care of your beloved chihuahua. I highly recommend this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars HORRIBLE WASTE, April 19, 2007

This review is from: The Essential Chihuahua (Essential (Howell)) (Paperback)

Well, if you looking for a book on Chihuahua's, this is certainly NOT the book for you. Like a previous reviewer states, the book doesn't contain any useful information at all. It is all fluff. Anyone that knows how to search the Internet will find the same info. I would not waste your money on this useless book.
