ACCURATE- FAIR CONDITION

THIS BOOK COVER IS THE EXACT DUPLICATE OF THE LITTLE GIRL I LOST LAST YEAR, I HAD TO HAVE IT FOR THAT REASON. THE CONDITION IS FAIR, THE BOOK HAS USEFUL INFO. THE PICTURES ARE GREAT.

Not a definitive guide but . . .

This book, part of a series of books by Animal Planet, is getting a bad rep. I think people are buying it with unrealistic expectations. What you have here is a nice, small, handy guide to owning a shih tzu. It doesn't get into every minor detail about the history of the breed or anything like that but then it doesn't claim to be an encyclopedic volume either. I work in a grooming salon and we have a display rack full of these books so I've been through most of them. What we like about this series is that each book is FILLED with pictures. Better still, it doesn't dwell on the "standard" look for the breed but has plenty of shots of dogs in various hair styles, dressed up, shaggy, you name it. My advice, don't buy these online without looking at them first, but that's my advice about buying pretty much any reference book. It's always better to know what you're getting in advance. So check out these books in the store and if you like what you see, get them. They're very nice, simple, easy to read, lots of pictures. A good start for someone who's interested in the breed but not obsessed with it.
