Little dog lovers book September 7, 2009

I have read several dog training and information books and was getting frustrated as they mostly refered to or were geared toward larger dogs. I love this book, it is meant for us lovers of little dogs. I have a 6 pound Morkie and this book has really helped me understand her better. I keep going back and referring to it again and again.
 Great Overall Coverage for Small Dogs January 15, 2009

Easy reading, received lots of good tips to follow up on. Looking for more information on Chihuahuas, though. Wanted more information on that specific breed. But, like I said, there is a lot of good overall information to get you started on your knowledge of small dogs.
a must read for anyone considering a small dog September 3, 2008

This well researched book covers all of the information that is needed before acquiring a small dog. Darlene Arden covers all of the breed specific information, including temperament, challenges and attributes for all of the small and toy dog breeds.
It is well written, fun to read and very thorough. And... it is a must read for choosing the right breed of dog.

Small Dogs, big hearts, HUGE BOOK! August 29, 2008
Jerry Hope (Milner, Georgia)

What a wonderful book! This book explains every concern imaginable for the small dog owner. From basic socialization, to common health problems, to reproductive issues; this book has it all. To top it off, is it loaded with some of the most heart-warming photographs I've seen in a while. You are doing yourself as well as your pint-sized buddy a huge disservice if this reference book is not the most read book in your collection. Reading this book allows you to feel the passion of the author. Feel the passion...read this book.
great general reference for small furkids May 28, 2008
Brenda Pink (Lethbridge, AB, CAN)
I purchased this book as an expectant toy breed mother. It is a light hearted but informative book on the joys and pitfalls of having a toy breed in your house. I was a little disappointed in the lack of information on my particular puppy, a Chinese Crested, but then I didn't expect a lot of info on the Cresteds since most people know little about them. For more breed specific information, it's advisable to get a breed specific book. However this is a great reference for those who are looking at the toy breeds and don't know a lot about them. It's an easy read and the general information is great. The breed specific information is just enough to perhaps help someone choose which breed is a good fit for their family.
