This review is from: The Everything Chihuahua Book: A Complete Guide to Raising, Training, And Caring for Your Chihuahua (Everything (Pets)) (Paperback)

I just got this book, and it's great. There is a lot of information on many subjects, from potty training to traveling. There is information there relating to foods toxic to chihuahuas that other books recommend feeding them. This brings up things I need to ask my vet. It's always good to have up to date information. There aren't a lot of pictures, but this is more of an informational book than a picture book.

This book helped with understanding the temperament of the Chi. It has been an excellent aid with potty training, basic commands, and hazards that could harm or kill your Chi.
