Chihuahuas: Everything About Purchase, Care, Nutrition, Diseases, Behavior, and Breeding

by D. Caroline Coile

The most extensive line of basic pet information and training guides on the market, Complete Pet Owner's Manuals currently include more than 60 titles devoted to most of the AKA-recognized dog breeds, as well as other commonly owned breeds. All books are profusely illustrated with full-color photos and instructive, high-quality line art. They are written in clear, direct language that will appeal to ordinary pet owners, but they also contain information that even experienced breeders and trainers will find enlightening. Each manual is individually written by an experienced breeder, trainer, veterinarian, or qualified expert. Here is virtually everything dog lovers need to know about feeding, grooming, training, and keeping a healthy pet -- as well as valuable information on the traits of individual breeds.

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.
