Great books every Yorkie owner or a potential owner should read.

Hi there!

It's me Svetlana.
My firends and family lovingly joke that if I get enamored with something, I study the subject extensively.
This applies to my love for beauty and natural health, cosmetics, exercise, nutrition, and now... Yorkies!
BEFORE getting Ptichka (and even before knowing that he existed) I bought a whole bunch of books on Yorkies.
I started at the National Dog Show which took place this past fall in Oaks, PA. There I grabbed several books on Yorkshire terriers from the book stand and proceeded studying them immediately, while waiting between exibits and shows. I already knew, of course, that I wanted a yorkie and a Yorkie only, so I went to the area in the expo center where Yorkies were benched and observed the last preparations before the show ring (last touches on grooming, etc). I also took several pictures of those Yorkies I liked the most (based on their looks). The funniest thing: back home, after I got Ptichka from a NJ breeder, I studied those pictures from the dog show. Guess what? The same breeder and her dogs were ther most featured on my photos! This is a complete coincidence, but it means the dogs she presented were the most beautiful of all. By the way, her dog won the show. The breeder's name is Joan Evans, she is from Vineland, NJ (I asked her permission to put this info in my blog post). I told her about the pictures and she was very amused. I will send them to her as well.
After that I got several more books from Amazon. All of then are pretty much similar in terms of the info provided, but complementary to each other.

In any case, here are the books on Yorkies you should study.

1. Yorkshire Terriers for Dummies by Tracy Barr and Peter F. Veling
2. The Yorkshire Terrier (Terra Nova Series) by Deborah Wood and Wayne Hunthausen
3. Little Dogs: Training Your Pint-Sized Companion by Deborah Wood
4. The Yorkshire Terrier Handbook (Barron's Pet Handbooks)
5. Yorkshire Terrier (Kennel Club Dog Breed Series) by Rachel Keyes
6. Small Dogs, Big Hearts: A Guide to Caring for Your Little Dog , Revised Edition by Darlene Arden (I have a Kindle edition of this one).

So long!
