Dummy No More!

This book was a God send. I'd highly suggest buying it and reading it from cover to cover before bringing your little Yorkie home. The book is an easy read and because of the format, you can skip to what's important to you and read the rest at a later time. We bought our little puppy from the breeder when he was a mere 6 weeks unlike the standard 12 weeks, which I was actually a little nervous about. However, the book was right on the money with instructions on what to expect when picking him up from the breeder to his very first night in his new home. We just recently took the little guy to his first appointment with the vet. That too is covered in the book! The vet was impressed with how much I knew about the breed and puppies in general. I have this book to thank for that. I really would have been lost without it.

Yorkshire Terriers for Dummies

I have owned Yorkies for 16 years. After purchasing new puppies, I decided to get this book and it has been very informative. It is full of information for anyone who has never owned or is thinking of purchasing a Yorkie. I would recommend reading it BEFORE you buy. It also provides tips on training and caring for older dogs as well.

Not a 'dummie' anymore

I love yorkies. I have never owned one but someday I desire to. I bought this book because I tried to be as informed as possible before heading into something. This book shows key tips for yorkie owning. There are some suprising ones in there - such as the fact they prefer to sleep in smaller cages at night versus roaming free around the house. Also the house breaking tips were very informative. A must read for anyone desiring the company of the yorkshire terrior (though a lot of information in here could go universially for any dog - such as spraying the nose with dilluted vinegar water when they bark versus yelling at them for barking). Worth the money. Worth the stars! * * * * *

Best Yorkie Help

I was considering getting a Yorkie for awhile so I bought this book to better inform myself. It is so full of information and it is written so that anyone can understand it (Dummies!?) It definitley helped me make the decision to get my precious Yorkie. So much of the info in this book was the same stuff that the breeder told me. So many things it tells you to expect are exactly what happened. For example, it tells you what to do before you bring home your puppy. Like getting it a blanket and a cuddle toy. My Yorkie looks for his blanket and his stuffed elephant everytime he is ready to lay down! It continues to be a big help with training. I recommend it for sure!
