Chihuahuas

by D. Caroline Coile

The tiny Chihuahua is well-known for his tendency to bond with his owner, to whom he remains fiercely loyal for life. Chihuahuas come in two varieties, long-coat and smooth-coat, though both are the same breed. This title in "Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals" is just one among many in a series that covers all popular dog and cat breeds, bird varieties, hamsters and other small caged animals, aquarium fish varieties, terrarium pets, and even reptiles, amphibians, and exotics. Each title features approximately 70 color photos and advises prospective owners on acquiring an animal, housing, feeding, health care--and where applicable, grooming and training.

Nice introductory book. Short and to the point

[Celest · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good overview, easy to read and covers a good range of pet care.

Great little book. I've been owned by Chihuahuas before, but I felt that I needed a refresher since it's been many years since I've lived with one.

I enjoyed reading about the general behaviour of the breed as well as learning about common health issues. However, all of the training information and tips are useless to me because they focus on word-based training, and my chihuahua is deaf.
