Book Reviews of Chihuahua (Comprehensive Owner's Guide)
Book Review: CHI-WOW-WOW
Summary: 5 Stars
I believe this book is a must for any Chihuahua owner or anyone thinking about getting a Chihuahua. The breed can be fickle and is not the easiest to care for with its potential genetic problems the breed faces. -Luxating patellas, gingivitis, and temperament issues just to name a few.
This was the first Chihuahua book I bought to research the breed before buying one. I know a lot about dogs in general, having worked at a veterinary hospital for many years. Even so, this book was able to teach me a lot that I didn't already know. With that being said, I was pleasantly surprised.
It has a section devoted to puppies, general care, health issues, and much more.
I also love the hardcover, full color pages, as well as up-to-date information. You will not be disappointed when purchasing this book!
Summary of Chihuahua (Comprehensive Owner's Guide)
The affectionate and beguiling Chihuahua holds two distinctions among pure-bred dogs: he is the smallest and the longest lived dog in the world. Weighing as little as one pound, the Chihuahua often enjoys good health until the age of twenty years. Many characteristics endear the Chihuahua to his millions of fans throughout the world. The breed is prized for its intelligence, its extreme devotion to its mistress or master, its saucy expression and its outgoing personality. Whether wearing a glossy smooth coat or a soft and wavy long coat, the Chihuahua is an attractive and alert companion for any dog lover who dares to open his heart to this irresistible toy dog.This book provides the much-needed factual information about Chihuahuas and their ancestry in Mexico and beyond, characteristics and standard, as well as puppy selection, feeding, training, preventative health care and behavior of the breed. The new owner will welcome advice about puppy-proofing the home, preparing for the pup?s arrival, housebreaking and preventing puppy problems. In addition to an authoritative, comprehensive text written by breeder Barbara J. Andrews, this book presents over 135 photographs in full color, which prove to be as informative as they are attractive.
