Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The pocket-sized pooch makes an ideal household companion, especially for apartment dwellers or others who must keep a pet that will adapt to a confined space. However, author Dan Rice stresses that different small breeds have different personalities—a fact that should be kept in mind when prospective owners are first acquiring their canine pet. If the animal's and owner's lifestyles fail to match, trouble will follow. Described in this book are more than 50 small breeds, with information on their personalities, hereditary traits, nutritional needs, potential health problems, and more. Bichon Frise, Chihuahua, Jack Russell Terrier, Pomeranian, Shih Tzu, Toy Poodle, and many others are discussed in detail. Web addresses of breeders' clubs are also provided as sources of additional information. Appealing full-color photos throughout.

4.0 out of 5 stars Trying to Decide?, June 28, 2007
By Susan Mcdougald (Nashville, Tennessee) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Good book for dog lovers. If you are trying to decide whether or not to get a small dog, buy this book. Great pictures. Lots of reminders about the important differences between small and large dogs. Nicely succinct descriptions of breed characteristics and origins, temperament, height and weight expectations, and especially doggy attitude.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great info on small dog breeds!, January 24, 2007
This book, made in the Barrons fashion, has wonderfull photos and adequate information on various small dog breeds. Actually this book had a few breeds more than I expected to be in the book like the small Podengo. I was rather confused on why the Keyz was listed...being around 50lbs. I don't consider it a small breed?! But a good book all around for those who are mainly interested in the small end of the canine spectrum.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Overview, July 2, 2007
By L. ADOLPHSON (Tumwater, WA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
of all small breeds. I was happy to see that both the pro's and con's were presented. I am a dog lover and it is important that people know the commitment and the personalities before committing to a puppy or dog.
