2.0 out of 5 stars
Very lightweight vis-a vis the title,
By A Customer
This review is from: Guide to Owning a Shih Tzu (Re Dog) (Paperback)
Apart from the history which was interesting, the contents covered the other topics in a very cursory fashion. The book was long on emotion as to "how marvellous your wonderful new puppy is" but gave little practical information on what a new owner wants to know as far as puppy care is concerned(first night at home, house training etc) which were glossed over in a couple of sentences. Far more space (and lavish photos) taken on showing the dog and flossying it up - a lot of owners just want an everyday pet, not a prima donna.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Overly focused on showing/competitions,
By Elizabeth M (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Guide to Owning a Shih Tzu (Re Dog) (Paperback)
This book is great if you're looking to figure out whether your shih tzu is showable and can participate in competitions. Other than that, there are far more helpful books out there in terms of puppy care, how to work with and train a shih tzu, etc. I didn't learn anything from this book since I don't intend to show my dog. There isn't anything else in this book that is unique or particularly well done. If you do want to show your furry friend... this might be for you

A Good Place to Start,
This review is from: Guide to Owning a Shih Tzu (Re Dog) (Paperback)
"The Guide to Owning a Shih Tzu" is a good book for initial information regarding the Shih Tzu. It gives brief information on the Shih Tzu's history, standard, grooming, feeding, training and health. The pictures are charming... as are most Shih Tzu. This is a good place to start if you are looking for a book to introduce you to this breed.
