need some votes on books! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

i have read countless (literally) books on yorkies, and soo much online content etc, i can't for the life of me remember which ones were best and which useless!

a woman enquiring about my current litter has asked for recommended books, so YT was of course my first thought for recommendations!
they are not to be bred, so i dont need the books to have extensive breeding and whelping sections (those ones i could have named! grr!!)- just general, but with great info!
so basically, what books- as a first time yorkie owner- did you (or your new puppy mommas or your litters) find most helpful?
thanks in advance!!

I LOVE the book Yorkshire Terriers for Dummies. It was great and helped me a lot when I was a complete newbie.

I still refer back to it once in awhile because it has a lot of useful tips and lists! I highly recommend this book.

I do not know if there are better ones out there, but this one answered almost all my questions and even some I didn't know to ask! It is a really good place to start imo.

Hope this helps!

That was my favorite also. It well written, easy to read & not flat like some of the books I came across. I also really like "The Complete Idiots Guide to Yorkshire Terriers". It was also an easy, interesting read. Here's a link for that one on Amazon.

Amazon.com: The Complete Idiot's Guide to... And just be sure to tell her you're not calling her an idiot or dummy.

The library here had a lot of books also, though some were older & pretty boring.
