This book is incredible! (I'm holding the book in my hands as I type and this is the actual contents) It covers ORIGINS, PERSONALITY AND TEMPERMENT, THE BREED STANDARD, CARE FOR THE NEW SHIH TZU PUPPY, OBEDIANCE TRAINING, BREEDING, CARE OF MOTHER AND FAMILY, GENERAL HEALTH CARE, DOG SHOW COMPETITION, BUILDING A KENNEL AND RUNS, GROOMING! Look, I'm not even envolved with this breed...(My breed is Rhodesian Ridgebacks)and I still found this book to be very informative!

I HIGHLY RECOMEND THIS BOOK!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I was unable to put it down, from the minute it arrived, til finished. The detail was magnificent, answering all my questions and more. There are almost 200 colour photos, making the book a delight to read. Easy to find oneself ohhhhing and ahhhhing over the shih tzus photographed in this book!

Also many photos of recommended and available products, to help you in most situations of need. I found this book to be a valuable reference book of knowledge and a great aid to me, before and once my puppy arrived.

Great reading

I was disappointed in this book. The section on breeding is very good but the book seems to be filled with ads for products. That is not why I buy a book. If I wanted products for my dog, I would go shopping at pets.com. Compared to the "Official Book of Shih Tzu," "Shih Tzu" is not up to par.

...I had it sent to my mom who is a first time owner of a Shih Tzu. She called when it arrived and did nothing but "praise" the condition and it's content's. The book give's an overall coverage of the Shih Tzu breed. It cover's everything from the new puppy to grooming your adult Shih Tzu. This is a perfect book for anyone who own's the breed.

This book is really great, with nice pictures. I especially enjoyed the history and background detailed on these wonderful dogs. Just looking at the pictures makes me want to go out and get another puppy. The plastic sleeve (Buckram-reinforced Library Binding) is really a nice touch.

An even better version of the original book which has been my bible for years.
