Format:Paperback
This book is comprehensive and written in an easy to follow format. The book guides you through how to keep and care for a Chihuahua - follow the referenced chapters for guidance. There are some great highlighted tips and facts in every chapter. It is written in a witty style and has lots of great photos. There are lots of 'Americanisms' and references to Amercian Chihuahua breeders. The UK audience will get the gist, but there is is a good deal of information that won't be relevent. I would have liked to have read a more detailed Chapter on Housebreaking, (toilet training). This area was skipped over and as a Chihuahua owner, any further help or guidance would have been appreciated!! However, there is also a lot of detailed information about your pet's health, diet and well-being that some books don't touch on.
In summary: this book has some great information and facts about the history of the dog. It is an easy to follow guide and good value for money at 241 pages.

Format:Paperback
This is a great book for anyone with a new chihuahua, as it's very detailed and covers every possible subject. My only complaint is the text-book format, with very little pictures and diagrams used to demonstrate the advice. It makes the book seem quite tedious. But that said, this problem can easily be averted by highlighting/bookmarking the sectios most useful.
A must-buy for any chi-lover

Free from jargon. If you want to know about the breed, whether this dog is right for you, how to acquire one, how to feed one and generally look after it, written by someone who clearly owns one, this is the book for you. I dislike jargon at the best of times, I dislike books which have a general tone of superiority, this book doesn't have the first and doesn't do the second. Just simple honest advice. A winner.
