4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent beginners guide, May 12, 1998

This review is from: The Yorkshire Terrier: An Owner's Guide to a Happy Healthy Pet (Hardcover)

This book is an excellent guide for new Yorkie owners. It discusses all the practical things you need to know before purchasing a Yorkie, including feeding, grooming, training, and health. It is well-organized and very readable. A new Yorkie owner will probably want to also purchase a longer, more detailed book, but this one is a great starter -- enough info to take good care of your Yorkie, but simple enough to avoid confusion and information overload.

I sell Yorkie pups to people for pets only. I give one of these books to every person that buys a puppy. I have been told over and over how useful and informative it is.

I thought this book was going to be just about Yorkies but it is more a general book with a few added pages about Yorkies. Not what I expected and the grooming section is really pretty sad.
