Reseña del editor
Mexico's most famous purebred dog, the Chihuahua enjoys the unique distinction of the being the world's tiniest dog--as small as 1 pound at his full adult size. The Chihuahua today enjoys international fame and is prized as a companion on every continent. In addition to being a superb, loving pet, the Chihuahua excels as a show dog, competition dog, and therapy dog. For his few inches, the Chi proves versatile and multi-talented. Readers will enjoy author Barbara J. Andrew's insightful history of the Chihuahua, examining the possible theories of the breed's origins (Asia, Mexico, England or America?), the development of breed type, and emergence of two coat types (long and smooth). The chapter on the breed's characteristics discusses the benefits and possible challenges of owning such a tiny dog, the need for socialization and training to develop a well-adjusted adult dog, and a few health concerns that new owners should be aware of. Few breeds are as rewarding to own as the Chihuahua, and this Comprehensive Owner's Guide effectively encapsulates what makes the Chi such an endearing companion dog. New owners will welcome the well-prepared chapter on finding a reputable breeder and selecting a healthy, sound puppy. Chapters on puppy-proofing the home and yard, purchasing the right supplies for the puppy as well as house-training, feeding, and grooming are illustrated with photographs of handsome adults and puppies. In all, there are over 135 full-color photographs in this useful and reliable volume. The author's advice on obedience training will help the reader better mold and train into the most well-mannered dog in the neighborhood. The extensive and lavishly illustrated chapter on healthcare provides up-to-date detailed information on selecting a qualified veterinarian, vaccinations, preventing and dealing with parasites, infectious diseases, and more. Sidebars throughout the text offer helpful hints, covering topics as diverse as historical dogs, breeders, or kennels, toxic plants, first aid, crate training, carsickness, fussy eaters, and parasite control. Fully indexed.
Reseña del editor
The affectionate and beguiling Chihuahua holds two distinctions among pure-bred dogs: he is the smallest and the longest lived dog in the world. Weighing as little as one pound, the Chihuahua often enjoys good health until the age of twenty years. Many characteristics endear the Chihuahua to his millions of fans throughout the world. The breed is prized for its intelligence, its extreme devotion to its mistress or master, its saucy expression and its outgoing personality. Whether wearing a glossy smooth coat or a soft and wavy long coat, the Chihuahua is an attractive and alert companion for any dog lover who dares to open his heart to this irresistible toy dog. This book provides the much-needed factual information about Chihuahuas and their ancestry in Mexico and beyond, characteristics and standard, as well as puppy selection, feeding, training, preventative health care and behaviour of the breed. The new owner will welcome advice about puppy-proofing the home, preparing for the pup's arrival, housebreaking and preventing puppy problems. In addition to an authoritative, comprehensive text written by breeder Barbara J Andrews, this book presents over 135 photographs in full colour which prove to be as informative as they are attractive.
