5.0 out of 5 stars A Really Informative Read, September 7, 2000

By	Bonnie Sustich (Vacaville, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This is an excellent book for any prospective Yorkie owner. It covers all aspects of owning a pet from birth to death and in between, including feeding, treats and grooming. There are helpful hints and little bits of trivia.

I highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to own or presently owning a Yorkshire Terrier. You will not regret the purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clear advice for new Yorkie owners, April 8, 2004

By	ivyunbound (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews

I've been researching purchasing a Yorkie puppy (as a pet and companion not to show or breed) and this is the best of the books on caring for the breed that I've read thus far. I started with Janet Jackson's book and the Complete Idiot's Guide to Yorkshire Terriers by Liz Palika. Both are very good, but I found Gewirtz's book to be more thorough for my needs. It doesn't just stress the importance of socialization or obedience training, but tells you the right age to begin these processes. Also, the information is presented in a clear, well-organized fashion. It's simply easier to find the information you need. Obviously, you shouldn't just buy one book on the breed or raising your dog, but this should definitely be on your list.

4.0 out of 5 stars Most helpful book, November 26, 2002

By	Beth Gewirtz (Riverside, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you are looking for one book on this toy breed this is probably it.
It covers all aspects of the Yorkie - Elaine didn't leave anything out!
I've had several Yorkies and was looking for another when I found this book.
Wish I had seen this book 20 years ago!
