Great Starter Book!, 2006-07-05
I breed Shih Tzu and I include this with my "puppy pack" for new owners. It is a great starter book for those who are not familiar with the breed, with great pictures and explanations. I would recommend a more thorough book for someone who already knows about the breed and wants more in-depth info, but for a beginning, this is the book!

A must have for Shih Tzu owners, 2002-08-09
I bought this book a month before I actually got my first Shih Tzu puppy. It welcomes you to the world of the Shih Tzu, and explains almost everything you need to know about the breed. I was fully prepared for when my puppy arrived home, and I learn most of it from this excellent book.
It is a must have for Shih Tzu owners, especially when you are not used to the breed yet. It goes from "What is a Shih Tzu?", the breed's history, bringing your dog home, to how to feed , groom and keep your Shih Tzu healthy. The last 2 parts of the book explain how to enjoy your dog(like basic training) and also recommended reading.
I recommend this book to Shih Tzu owners or for those who are considering getting a Shih Tzu. And by the way, Shih Tzu are great!!!...

Wonderful!, 2001-06-19
I just bought my first Shih Tzu, and I think this book is invaluable. It's clear, well organized, and it has information on a wide variety of important topics, like first aid, grooming, potty training, and more! Perfect for Shih Tzu owner!

a very informative little book, 2001-06-17
The book was very informative and easy to read. I would recommend this book to current and future shih tzu owners. The only drawback of the book is that there were some topics which I think are essential for every shih tzu owner to know, that were not explained in detail in this book. Jo Anne White proves though, that she is an authority in shih tzu knowledge and care.

induce vomitting when?, 2000-05-29
I enjoyed the entire section on the Shih tzu, but would have liked to read more about only the Shih tzu. For general dog information, I can get other books.This however was the only book I have found that has an extensive list on poisons for dogs, especially in people food. There is one section on when to induce vomiting, and there is (I believe) a huge typo. It says to induce vomiting when the dog has eaten something sharp and something else. I think it should say "DO NOT induce vomiting.!
In the list of poisons, it would be interesting to see what the side effects are. Ex. Onions cause autoimmune something anemia.
