4.0 out of 5 stars More than expected, July 10, 2000
This review is from: The Essential Shih Tzu (Howell Book House's Essential) (Paperback)
Having bought several other Shih Tzu books, I didn't have great expectations of this one. I was wrong. This book provided information without "selling" useful products. Information on picky eaters, whelping and training was very useful.

By A Customer
This review is from: The Essential Shih Tzu (Howell Book House's Essential) (Paperback)
This is a great book for the new Shih Tzu owner - breeders should think about adding it to the new puppy packets they give to new owners - pretty color pictures

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Essential Shih Tzu (Howell Book House's Essential) (Paperback)
This is my favorite book on Shih Tzu. When we have a little of puppies each family goes home with one of these books in their "puppy bags". A must have for the serious Shih Tzu owner.
