 Good for beginners, old hat for experienced dog owners. July 1, 2005

I purchased this book shortly after adopting my first Chihuahua from a rescue organization. I had owned several and worked with hundreds of dogs previously (I'm a veterinary student) and found this book to be an excellent jumping-off point for those who have little dog ownership experience. However, the material on potty-training, safety, vet care and many other subjects were just standard non-breed specific information. I found myself flipping through the book idly and found very little information that was new to me.
If you have never owned a dog, or have little experience with dog ownership and are considering a Chihuahua, definitely buy or borrow this book. But if you have a decade of being a doggy mom (or dad) under your belt, pass this book up for good old research with other Chi owners and breeders. It has enough redundant information to make spending the $16 seem silly.

I purchased and read Chihuahua's for Dummies just before purchasing my Chihuahua puppy. This book has been a great help with everything from understanding the Chihuahua mind to breed-specific training and housebreaking tips. I highly recommend this book to any first-time Chihuahua owner because it helps to answer the myriad of questions that you will have once you bring your puppy home.

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 sections most useful.
A must-buy for any chi-lover
A Must Have Book If You Own a Chihuahua February 4, 2005

I have read a couple of other books about Chihuahuas. This one was the absolute best. It provides a lot of insightful information into the mind of a Chi. There are a lot of questions that I had about my dog's temperament and they were all answered while reading this book. I will keep it and refer back to it for a long time. I have a much better understanding of my dog after reading this book. I realized that my spoiling him because he's a little dog was not the best thing for him.
