1.0 out of 5 stars Leaves out important health information, September 25, 2002

Isabel Cutler (Western North Carolina) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Havanese: A Complete and Reliable Handbook (Complete Handbook) (Hardcover)

Having read the wonderful, "Bichon Havanese"
by Zoila Portuondo Guerra, I was very disappointed with this book, since it completely ignored health issues that should be watched in the breed. The book seems quite generic in nature and could apply to almost any breed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reliable handbook, January 22, 2001

Laura Helmon (Maple Valley, WA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Havanese: A Complete and Reliable Handbook (Complete Handbook) (Hardcover)

This is a great handbook for havanese. The breed being so rare, it is hard to find good experience on paper. I plan on giving each of my new puppy owners a book. Thank you for supplying this book. Sincerely, Laura Helmon

1.0 out of 5 stars General puppy book - Not really on Havanese, January 26, 2003

Jackie Houtz "jlhotr" (Tennessee, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Havanese: A Complete and Reliable Handbook (Complete Handbook) (Hardcover)

Although this was the only book on Havanese that I could find, it was not what I wanted. It was a general puppy care book with Havanese pictures. Important issues related to the health and care of Havanese were not mentioned or addressed. Don't waste your money unless you are just paying for the pictures. Buy a more inclusive puppy care book if this is what you're looking for.
