 Great information on Yorkies November 16, 2008
Josh
Nothing much more I can add that hasn't been said in the other reviews...I bought this as a birthday gift for my girlfriend as she someday hopes to own a Yorkie. Besides the great information of before owning a Yorkie and when you do take the step to own one the thing that stuck out to me is the color pictures. May not seem like much but from the past for Dummies books I've seen they were usually just text and maybe a black and white photo here and there.

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.
 Good info with a snob point of view February 14, 2008

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?.

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.
