5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for CC owners or those wanting more info about CCs, March 17, 2000

By	Lori (USA) - See all my reviews

This book contains all the essential information on the breed including skin and coat care, dental care, training, showing etc. It also has more detailed info on breed standards, health care and history of the Chinese Crested. It is well written and the information is very useful. I enjoyed the color photos of the Cresteds and highly recommend this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars If you are a new crested owner, this book is essential!, July 22, 1999

By A Customer

This guide is filled with information essential to the new Chinese Crested dog owner. Our family especially enjoys the numerous color photographs of both hairless and powderpuff cresteds of all ages. Included in the book is information regarding basic care, including special care of the skin and coat, training, and tips for the novice who may wish to show his dog.

2.0 out of 5 stars buy it for the pictures only..., April 18, 2003

By	Marylee (Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews

When I was looking into getting a chinese crested dog, I bought this book to get a basic idea as to what I would need to know when I owned one. That sort of information was not in abundance. If you're wanting to know more basic type info about the breed, know that pretty much everything I learned regarding that sort of basic info, I learned by surfing through various websites. I found that to be much more beneficial then reading this book. What the book IS good for is the pictures. It does give many of the different looks a chinese crested can have. And it doesn't just show the show dogs. It shows pretty ones, and ugly ones, old ones, and young ones--all with every level of hairyness, and color. I would encourage anyone who'd buying it not to spend more than $... bucks on it.
