Excellent school for Shitzu new parents

This is a must read for new owners of Shitzu dogs. We have had many dogs and always chose intelligence over beauty. This race has been the most delicious to live with, they have a beautiful character and learn very easy. We fell in love completly with this dogs, and reading this book, owners/parents will understand the beauty and the softness needed to enjoy their company. Try not to buy from a puppy mill, as the mothers are so soft and fragile they are distroyed by unethical breeders, meaning all.

All about the breed

I found this book to be educational. I would recommend it to anyone getting a shin tzu. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did.

A great first book for the new owner of this sweet breed. Explains care and grooming as well as from an owners perspective. A lot of love and respect between the paw parent and the pet.

The book could be a little deeper but helps you understand the breed. Especially helpful in what to watch for health issues.

With adopting our third Shih Tzu a refresher course was welcome reading.
