The Chihuahua Owner's Guide: Choosing, Raising, Training and Caring for Your Chihuahua, with Pixie-Lee (en Inglés)
Reseña del libro "The Chihuahua Owner's Guide: Choosing, Raising, Training and Caring for Your Chihuahua, with Pixie-Lee (en Inglés)"
A practical, fact-checked guide for anyone who shares their life with a Chihuahua, or is thinking about it. Chihuahuas are not just small dogs. Their size shapes almost everything about their care: how often a puppy needs to eat, how quickly they get cold, why their teeth crowd, and why their knees and windpipe need watching. This book starts from those breed-specific facts instead of generic dog advice. Inside you'll find: Choosing well: what the breed standard really says, why "teacup" is a sales label and not a size, and the questions to ask a breeder or rescue The first weeks: Chihuahua-proofing your home, the first night, housetraining a small bladder, and safe socialization Training that works: reward-based methods, six essential cues, and help with barking, fear and so-called "small dog syndrome" Feeding and low blood sugar: how often to feed a toy puppy, the warning signs of hypoglycemia, and the first-aid steps Health and care: daily tooth brushing, slipping kneecaps, tracheal collapse, heart murmurs, the molera, cold weather, travel and the senior years Canadian details alongside US information, including Canadian Kennel Club guidance and Canadian cost estimates Every chapter ends with a practical tip from Pixie-Lee and a short checklist. At the back you'll find a quick-reference emergency card, a puppy checklist, a health and vet visit log, and a full list of sources from kennel clubs, veterinary colleges, veterinary specialists and published studies. This book was inspired by Lyne's love and affection for her Chihuahua, Pixie-Lee. This book is general information, not veterinary advice. Always talk to your veterinarian about your own dog.
