 Chihuhahua's for the not so dumb :) September 8, 2008
Skye Bunny (Cookeville, TN United States)
I used this book as research prior to bringing home a chihuahua puppy and a guide book after we brought her home.
This book has proven to be a valuable tool in training and gaining knowledge as to the mannerism's and behaviors that is unique to the chihuahua breed. I feel that our pets loving and friendly nature is in part due to information we found in this book. Its easy to read, somewhat entertaining, and well researched. A must have for those new to raising chihuahuas.

This book is really handy. It's nice that it's specific to the chihuahua breed--lots of information to help this new puppy owner differentiate between the general advice for all puppies and approaches best suited to my pup.
One of my favorite things about this book is the way it has really helpful information like diagrams of different tail positions and whether they indicate something is wrong. Great reference.
 great book August 5, 2007

I found this book to be very easy and fun to read, plus extremely informative. It's a great book to buy BEFORE you get your Chihuahua because it puts everything into perspective. After I got my two Chihuahua puppies I carefully followed this book's instructions and my puppies immediately learned to be very obedient and it wasn't long before they were potty trained inside and outside the house. I highly recommend it!
