Yeah, I know it's an "Idiot" guide, but it's far better than you'd think. Most of the other books I checked out gave more info on the history of the breed, raising show dogs or choosing a Yorkie as a puppy. I already chose a Yorkie, so this one is very cut & dry & gets right to the point. So far, so good!

Not the best book on Yorkies that I've ever read . . . but not the worst either. The pictures in the book, however, are ugly. I have no idea where they found such ugly Yorkies!
