The Shih Tzu Handbook (Barron's Pet Handbooks) - Softcover

These playful and energetic little canines make friendly companions, and are good dogs for apartment dwellers. Potential owners should be advised, however, that the Shih Tzu's beautiful, long-haired coats require frequent combing and grooming. Titles in the Pet Handbooks series are filled with detailed pet-care advice and feature vivid color photos as well as instructive line art. All Barron's Pet Handbooks are written by experienced breeders, trainers, and veterinarians. They focus on all major aspects of owning and caring for a pet, including acquiring, proper feeding, housing, health care, breeding, and where applicable, training, exercise, and grooming.
