| Got an opinion? Hey Y'all! I was going to get the book 'Yorkies for Dummies'. But as I stood there looking at it - I found the info not to be very breed specific. Its - in my opinion - more generalized and geared more toward small breeds. However - NOT focusing on the details and traits of the Yorkshire Terrier. I dont want to waste anymore money!!! In your opinion - what is the BEST BOOK for the owner of a Yorkie? One very breed specific is what I am looking for. Any and all recommendations are greatly appreciated! I am a nerdy lil book worm and cant be online all of the time so with a book - I can rest in knowing I will be a better Mama after than before. Not that thats actually possible hehe. |

| I picked up The Yorkshire Terrier (written by Deborah Wood and Wayne Hunthausen, DMV - consulting editor) at PetsMart and have been really pleased with it. The book is packed with breed specific info from the history of Yorkies to advanced training tips. It comes with a care and training DVD, although I haven't had time to look at. I'm a first-time Yorkie owner and the book has really helped me out and calmed my nerves. |

| I just got my lil guy a couple of weeks ago and I am a bit of a book worm too! I bought The Everything Yorkshire Terrier Book. I really like it, especially for a new owner. I was able to preview a lot of the book online before I bought it. The Everything Yorkshire Terrier Book - Preview THis is the link for the sneak a peek at the book. Good luck! |
