4 out of 5 stars Yorkies for Dummies   April 22, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Solid book, but nothing I really didn't find on the internet. I guess you can either buy this book or just search online for a good hour or two on dogs and yorkies.


3 out of 5 stars Good info with a snob point of view   February 14, 2008
 3 out of 5 found this review helpful

This book got a lot of great reviews and I tend to like the "Dummies" books. It did follow the traditional format the Dummy books are known for and it was informative and helpful. However, the lack of two stars are for what seemed to be the lean towards AKC snobbery. Come on, a pet Yorkie should never be bred because she isn't show quality? We are getting our Yorkie because we want her to be loved and a member of our family; but this book seemed to written for those who have an allegiance to the AKC and only own Yorkies for strutting in shows. By the way, there are other organizations to register a Yorkie with than the AKC!!
May I recommend the Animal Planet Yorkshire Terriers book instead?.



4 out of 5 stars Fantastic   January 14, 2008

This book is great. I bought it after already having Logan. I wish I would have bought it before hand. Lots of great info and they are pretty much bang on for everything they say. Please buy this book before buying your Yorkie... it does make life easier.

This book really helped me decide if I wanted to get a Yorkie. I felt it didn't sugar coat them and made them feel real.


3 out of 5 stars biting?   September 15, 2007

I cannot believe there is no chapter on biting as a puppy. It is a thoroughly obnoxious habit--thought this book would have had some words of wisdom.
