An excellent book for day to day care from puppyhood to geriatric and information on the toy breeds. For those of you who breed or own a toy  dog, I highly recommend this book as part of your library and as 
a recommended read for every puppy you sell and for every new 
dog owner or small variety dog owner to buy. 

It takes you "thoroughly" through each breed in an easy to 
understand fashion with all the little 
breed "intricasies" and the many pitfalls that one might have with toy dogs that an owner may not think of until it is too late and tragedy strikes.  It's obvious that Darlene has done a lot of research to put together this book concentrating on the toy breeds.

 Written by a leading authority on Yorkshire Terriers, this book covers what anyone should know before breeding dogs, the mechanics of heredity, pedigrees & breeding systems (including inbreeding, linebreeding, outbreeding, outcrossing, etc.), evaluating the brood bitch, testing for canine brucellosis, the stud dog, responsibilities of the owner, infections, pregnancy & whelping, care of the dam after whelping, the neonatal period (including bottlefeeding, intubation, formula chart, foster mothers, etc.), puppy rearing & socialization, as well as evaluating puppies and young
adults.  I've given this to anyone who has ever said, "Oh, we want to breed her."  This book has weaned out the weak of heart, and educated more than a few Yorkie parents.

In 1981 Terri Shumsky and Dr Kenneth Davis handed over
100 pages of manuscript to Ann Seranne to be included in the
book:
"The Joy of Breeding your Own Show Dog" as Ann had never
delivered a litter of pups and passed away in the mid 80s.  Ann did give an acknowledgement in the foreward for this.  Much more
whelping information will be in Terri Shumsky's book coming Y2K... HOW TO RAISE A HEALTHY DOG AND FEEL GOOD IN THE
PROCESS..... which will contain much more thorough whelping
information and lots of good health care.

Talks about the perfect handler, the making of a show dog, the basics,
obedience and confirmation, training for the show ring, the psychology
of the show ring, preparation for the ring, grooming for the ring, when
you are in the ring, etiquette and sportsmanship, planning a campaign
and even a helpful hint section.  A very informative book on showing
your yorkie.

Ms. Jester is an animal behavorist and talks about the following: Understanding Small Dogs, Basic Dog Psychology, Training equipment, Training, Manners, 
Formal Obedience Commands, Small Dog--Large World, Bad Dog Blues, Housebreaking, Handling Begging and Carsickness, Abnormal Behaviors, and Small Dog Tales.  I found this book to be invaluable and gives the small dog owner(no matter what breed) an understanding of what they do and why they do 
it.  I would reccommend adding this to anyone's library of books for Yorkies or any small or toy breed dog.

The beautiful Yorkshire Terrier Annual hardback coffee table book is in the works right now and if you haven't seen it or are interested in back issues or advertising, now is the time to get in touch with the publishers of this Great book which circulates throughout the world every year.

Myself and many other helpful breeders have been writing for this publication since it's inception in 1985.....a great Collectors book for who's who and what's available and going on in the Yorkie world.
