Puppy days seem more manageable now!”\n“A brilliant find!”\n“In some despair I came across this book and it’s been perfect. Only wish we’d had it from the off!”\nYou and Your Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Puppy in a Nutshell is part of a series of breed-specific dog books by Carry Aylward, professional member of the Dog Writer’s Association of America. She says, “In an ideal world, all prospective dog owners would take on rescues, or dogs that need rehoming, at least until they were in short supply. But there is also good reason for choosing a puppy, so if that is your decision, be sure to use those early days, weeks and months well, because puppies blessed with a good start in life are unlikely ever to find themselves in rescue centres or animal shelters.\n“This is my hope for the ‘You and Your Puppy’ series of books. In a nutshell, it’s to help you to give your puppy the best possible start in life, with a relationship built on love, kindness and mutual understanding.”

You and Your Chihuahua Puppy in a Nutshell: All the expert advice and answers you’ll need to guide you through your Chihuahua’s first, crucial year. An essential Chihuahua handbook with easy-to-follow steps on how to choose, care for and train your new arrival. 
The smallest purebred dog in the world, Chihuahuas are so cute they can easily become spoilt if they’re not carefully raised. And yet, few owners give them the care and guidance they need to grow up happy and well-adjusted in a world of people rules. 
Chihuahuas are hugely affectionate companion dogs who adore their whole human family – but with this, they can be over-protective at times. 
Their light weight makes them easy to scoop up and carry. However, their fragile builds make them physically vulnerable, and everyone needs to be constantly watching where they sit and put their feet. 
There are many things you’ll need to know to be a great ‘parent’ to your Chihuahua puppy, and you will find them here.
