 Very little breed specific information December 20, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The fact that this book is mostly made up of generic dog information is only part of the problem. I picked up this book because I wanted more information on Yorkies specifically. Since Yorkies are so small, there's a lot of stuff that may be different when caring for them as compared to, say, a Golden Retriever. Don't get me wrong; much of that kind of information is universal, and it is helpful to know the things that apply to all dogs. But this book is being sold as a book about caring for Yorkies, and that is what I expected. There are many generic dog care books out there, and frankly, many of them are much better than this one.
Aside from that, this book is poorly written and edited. I found many grammatical and syntactic errors in the first few chapters.
I also have Yorkshire Terriers for Dummies, and I think it is a much better book than this one. Choose that one instead.

Great book for anyone who is planning on getting a Yorkie and an awesome reference for you after you get your Yorkie !! I have had my 2 Yorkies for 4 weeks and have referenced it MANY times. I highly recommend it.

Alot of good information I didn't know. Very helpful for someone who has never had one of these unique little doggies.This book probably helped to save my puppies life by describing symptoms of a genetic disease common to Yorkies I kept persuing answers to my dogs unusual behavior. He eventalyy was diagnosed with a liver shunt and under went surgery 2 weeks ago. All is GREAT now.
A lot of health information. June 22, 2004

I found this book to be helpful. I am not yet a Yorkie owner but a Yorkie owner in training. This book has a great deal of health-related information about Yorkies, including the standards tips for raising a puppy vs. an adult dog. It was very similar to The Complete Idiot's Guide to Yorkshire Terriers, by Liz Palika, which I liked better for the information regarding potty training and obedience training.
Clear advice for new Yorkie owners April 9, 2004

I've been researching purchasing a Yorkie puppy (as a pet and companion not to show or breed) and this is the best of the books on caring for the breed that I've read thus far. I started with Janet Jackson's book and the Complete Idiot's Guide to Yorkshire Terriers by Liz Palika. Both are very good, but I found Gewirtz's book to be more thorough for my needs. It doesn't just stress the importance of socialization or obedience training, but tells you the right age to begin these processes. Also, the information is presented in a clear, well-organized fashion. It's simply easier to find the information you need. Obviously, you shouldn't just buy one book on the breed or raising your dog, but this should definitely be on your list.
