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.
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!

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.
