5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Dog Book, January 28, 2002
By "eric10295" (Yorba Linda) - See all my reviews
This is a great book! Terri covers every aspect of finding, buying, training, breeding, and caring for a dog. Lots of up-to-date easy to understand detailed information. Extra information on toy breeds including Yorkies. I bought a few extra books and gave them to friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have for all pet owners - Breeders Bible , May 8, 2006
I bought this book years ago and it has been a constant companion. It contains information on all aspects of dog care.

It explains, in easy to understand terms, how to find a reputable breeder, dog care, breeding info, dog health and so much more.

Terri was a exceptional breeder and a true pioneer in the dog field. She gave all she had to benefit Liver Shunt research so our animals would not have to die needlessly.

I LIKE TO GIVE THIS TO ALL MY YORKIE BUYERS but it is getting harder to find since her death last year.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Dog Book EVER!, February 9, 2009
We've used this book as a resource for many years. if you are going to breed dogs and raise litters of pups, you MUST have this book. The only part of the book I disagree with is about removing the dewclaws and everyone has a different opinion about that, so I am fine with the authors synopsis of it.

Even if this book is out of print you should buy a used copy.
