Customer Reviews

Great book!

Your Chihuahua's Life was very informative! As a matter of fact, it was everything I'd hoped it would be as far as information on the Chihuahua. I am not a Chi owner yet, but I want to know everything I need to before adopting one and this book fit the bill!

Best Chihuahua book out there

I have purchased four of these books and given three away. I can't believe it went out of print. Very good articles about and four chihuahuas not just cut and paste from other dog books or meant for a general breed. Really a cutom written about and for Chihuahuas. I have collected many books but still use it as a reference. I have been involved with a national rescue group for over seven years.

Your Chihuahua's Life by Kim Campbell Thornton

This book is AWESOME! It has everything you need to know about the chihuahua breed and is right on the money with everything it says. If you are a first time chihuahua owner or are thinking about one, you MUST read this wonderful book.

Everything you you ever wanted to know about Chihuahuas

I previously bought Chihuahuas-A Complete Owner's Manual by Barron'sand found it very helpful and specific. But now that I read YourChihuahua's Life I feel the Owner's Manual kind of sparse. I loveboth books. The Owner's Manual has more pictures and a glossierappearance, but the Complete Guide by Kim Thornton is definitely themost comprehensive book on Chihuahuas I have seen so far. Being afirst time Chihuahua owner, I was astounded how accurately shedescribed and predicted the little quirks and behavior oddities ofthese little guys. Unlike most breed books this book is clearly abreed specific book. I found many other books to explain the breedstandard and history and then be almost identical in every otheraspect (training, health care, etc). This book is different. Manythings of specific importance to Chis (and no other breed) areincluded in each of the very comprehensive chapters like Training,etc. A big plus in this book for prospective owners is that shedescribes the personality so accurately and realisticly. Most otherbreed books will just describe their featured breed in the bestlight. After reading this book you will know, if a Chihuahua is theright dog for you, what to watch out for, and how to properly takecare of these little guys. My suggestion is buy Barron's Pet Owner'sManual for the pictures and an introduction to the breed...and get Thornton's book for an indepth study.
