Great Book!

Another great book if you own a Shih Tzu! The book has a lot of great information on the breed of dog! Lots of tips and suggestions!Good pictures...

Living with a Shih Tzu, your dog will love it

The book is a great manual for Shih Tzu owners. From day one it was helpful for us to understand how to handle our puppy. She is now 8 weeks old and is healthy, active, curious, mischievous and sometimes seems to have read the book before we did. The author perfectly describes the usual behavior of this breed and, best of all, she provides useful hints and instructions on how to deal with specific situations and problems such as feeding, discipline and playtime. We recommend the book with enthusiasm.

Must have for Shih Tzu owners

As a trainer and breeder of Shih Tzu for over ten years I highly reccomend this book. It has great practical advise and is full of great pictures and stories. I give this to all my Shih Tzu puppy buyers. Enjoy your bundle of joy!!!

Living with a Shih Tzu

As the owner of an eight week Shih Tzu, the book provided many good ideas on raising my puppy. This book was recommended by the breeder as a "how to" book.

A really impressive general survey

I have read about a million books and magazines and articles on the shih tzu as a breed recently (as I just adopted a rescue puppy) and this one was by far the best-the only one worth even mentioning among those I read. It doesn't just cover the general (nebulus) history of the breed or how to show a dog, but really everything about the different stages of the dog's life and how different aspects of training apply to the breed (not just how to crate train, but how to crate train a shih tzu!) I learned some great puppy tips and some new things about shih tzus in particular. Tons of cute photos as well.As I mentioned, I found in my reading that most books/ magazines emphasize how to figure out if your shih tzu is show-able and if then, to start getting it into shows and competitions. This book didn't emphasize that at all, but rather focused on responsible dog care, really knowing what you're getting into by getting a shih tzu puppy, and everything that could possibly come up as a question in the life of the dog. I learned a bunch of techniques and tips as well. The writing style was clear and friendly, the values were apparent, and the tips really work.
