The Shih Tzu Handbook is a great introduction to the breed. More people should read such books and follow the recommendations. The pictures are adorable too!
 Great Little Manual for New Owners March 8, 2007
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
We recently acquired a new 7 week old Shih Tzu puppy. I purchased this book a few weeks before we brought the puppy home. It is chock-full of great facts, little tid-bits of interesting information about the breed and helpful tips in a variety of areas that include how to find a Shih Tzu, feeding, grooming, training and general care. It is well written, easy to understand and not overdone. The author also does not bombard the reader with her opinions, but rather makes suggestions on the topics.
This book is a great "Beginners Manual" for first time Shih Tzu owners.
Informative but not overwhelming January 4, 2005

Buy this book, you won't regret it. I looked over several other books and found this one a good book for a first time shih tzu owner. There is information in there on every aspect of the shih tzu; for some people it may not be as indepth as they would like but this has more than enough for someone starting out. It is a book you will refer to many times. Pay attention to page 18 and page 50-51 on scolding a shih tzu; they are senstive creatures and don't respond well to being scolded harshly. They are more than eager to do what pleases you. There is also two pages on grooming that shows the different clips for a shih tzu if you don't want to keep the long hair like a show dog. This is an overall book that contains enough information yet will not overwhelm you. Easy to read.
I loved this book! August 29, 2004

I was reading the former review and I bought this book! It's a great book and very easy to understand and it has great color pictures. It goes through the history of the Shih Tzu down to there health problems. My 11 year old daughter loves reading this book. I am a first time Shih Tzu owner and have found this book to be my lil Shih Tzu"bible" you will enjoy this book!

I really enjoyed reading this book. It was very easy to read, as well as informative about the breed and care of the breed. The only disapointment was that on this site it says the book has information on breeding and it does not really have any other than the breed standard. The main reason I chose this book is because I was looking for information on breeding. I do not regret purchasing it, however!
