Product Description

Now in a new edition with updated information and fine full-color photos and line drawings, this manual tells owners and prospective owners everything they need to know about Yorkies. Here is advice on purchasing, health care, nutrition, training, exercise, grooming, and information on breeding and showing this handsome and popular little dog.

The most extensive line of basic pet information and training guides on the market, Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals are written by experts, and profusely illustrated with full-color photos and instructive, high-quality line art. Each manual is individually written. Not one of Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals is a clone from a single common catch-all book, with one or two chapters added on to make it appear new. Instead, each Barron's manual has been planned, designed, and written from scratch—always by an experienced breeder, trainer, veterinarian, or qualified expert.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as 1st edition with Jurgen Grunn as co-author, July 4, 1999

By	[e-mail] (New York State) - See all my reviews

The first edition had better photographs, less obedience information, more on the Yorkshire Terrier, less general information - (which does not apply to Toy dogs usually). In the first edition - which had Jurgen Grunn as co-author, there was a photograph on page 29 which shows the difference between a very young puppy and its dam.This has been extremely useful to show buyers who sometimes wonder, seeing an 8 week-old puppy, if that is a pure-bred Yorkie since it so very different from its parents.

3.0 out of 5 stars A very basic beginners book for someone researching yorkies., August 23, 1998

By A Customer

A very basic book for someone trying to learn a little more about yorkies. Especially good for someone trying to decide if a yorkie is the dog breed for them. Reviews the AKC standard, the basic care, grooming and feeding requirements of yorkies. A very informative book for the novice buyer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helpful- a good guide!, July 7, 2002

By	Sam Cole (OR, United States) - See all my reviews

This is a really helpful, interesting book about Yorkies, and dogs in general! This is a great book is you're getting you're first dog, or first Yorkshire Terrier! It covers all the basics, and if you're thinking about getting dog this is a great book. Although some things like training would require aditional information, this book is a clear, easy to read guide to owning a dog, more specifically a Yorkie. I have refered back to this book many times in my first year with my dog!
