I really liked the way this book was written and put together. It did indeeed cover thing specific to Shih Tzus and was not a generic dog book. The DVD was a really nice bonus. I would recommend this book to anyone thinking about buying a Shih Tzu, or people like myself and wife who have had them for over 12 years. We currently have 3, and this book just reignites your passion for these fun little dogs.

We recently got a Shih Tzu puppy and wanted to learn all we could about the breed. This book is great. I had bought another book also, but this one is the most informative. It also came with a training video which is very helpful.
