4.0 out of 5 stars Barron's other success., July 15, 2004

By	J. Connor "film and book fanatic'." (Palm Desert, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Yorkshire Terrier Handbook is another magnificent entry in a very time deserving series. A very professional manual to dog: maintainence, feeding, behavioral issues, and several other categories. Since my grandparents own a male Yorkshire Terrier, this would be a recommendation for his training, health, and overall lifestyle. The series would serve any first time pet owner quite well. The binding quality is also complimentary, published in very firm paperback. No other pet guides have this type of high quality. Barron's is most certainly worthy of an acknowledgement for the well made pet handbooks.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST YORKIE GUIDE EVER PERIOD, April 30, 2007

By	i love amazon - See all my reviews

This book is so specific to Yorkie needs! Not your general run of the mill yorkie book. Teaches yorkie pressure points to control bleeding, the dilemma between using a water bottle dripper to a water bowl. WOW; i am amazed at this detail. Also teaches you how to make their ears stand up. 5 STARS!
