5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful source for information, December 23, 2003

By	Gisele (Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews

I have just finished reading this book and found it very educational as well as informative in regards to the care of Chihuahua's. As new chihuahua owners we are always looking for information that will help us be better pet owners. This book offers everything from general care to breed standard and training issues. I would highly recommend it as it was written for regular people to understand. It was a quick read but very indepth.

5.0 out of 5 stars First Time Chihuahua Owner Appreciates This Book, October 6, 2005

By	Michele Cozzens "www.michelecozzens.com" (Cloud 8) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It gives a well-rounded presentation of what every owner or potential owner of a chihuahua should know. It is easy to read and is peppered with many entertaining photos. I read it just prior to bringing home our first chihuahua and periodically check it as a reference tool.

If you want to become a chihuahua owner, I highly recommend this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK, April 30, 2005

By	pancho (us of a) - See all my reviews

This book contains very simplistic advice that is better acquired through discriminating web surfing. The writing is very poor and there are also tons of misspellings (often comical). The author is also overly obsessed with the 'best dog' in the litter and believes only in breeding. There is no advice for anyone who has adopted an older chihuahua, and even if you have a new puppy, i higly recommend, strongly advocate another book.
