The Shih Tzu (Terra Nova Series) EXCELLENT BOOK WRITTEN BY A PERSON WHO LOVES DOGS AND SHIH TZU's IN PARTICULAR. HAS A LOT OF GOOD AND USEFUL INFORMATION.

Great reading for the Shih Tzu owner!
I really liked the way this book was written and put together. It did indeeed cover thing specific to Shih Tzus and was not a generic dog book. The DVD was a really nice bonus. I would recommend this book to anyone thinking about buying a Shih Tzu, or people like myself and wife who have had them for over 12 years. We currently have 3, and this book just reignites your passion for these fun little dogs.
