This book is a collection of
information edited by four vets that I have gathered and saved over the years, written by
people I've respected and admired; namely, Dr. Harvey Keyes, Dr. D.H. Lein, Dr. J. Mosier,
Dr. Michael Lorenz, Mark Silveus, Aileen Martello, Beverly Berman, and some unknown
authors, which were helpful to me in raising my toy dogs successfully, as well as many
articles that were the result of my own efforts. Some of my articles have been published
and some information has just been experienced and has not been published previously. It
is my hope that the beginner and the professional alike will find the help they are
seeking at their fingertips in this booklet. This is an excellent, all breed,
information book.
Pet Nutri-Drops
My personal testimonial about this
product:
All that needs to be said about the Nutri-Drops product is
that I've seen, first hand many times, this product bring back the strength and color on hypoglycemic tiny pups and give strength to young pups to nurse properly
within hours. That is why it is so important to always have on hand.

"Well, the first time you
helped me, I think, was almost 3 years
ago! Wow! Your book has never left my bedside and since then, my family and
I happily raise and show our Yorkies. I refer to it all the time and it has
saved more puppies' lives now because without it I would have been lost. I
am excited that it is being published and I really do want to buy a copy.
Please place me on your mailing list."

"When I first
received your book, I read it cover-to-cover and wouldn't put it down. It is definitely
the best book available on Toy Dogs and their health, care and breeding. No Yorkie owner
should be without your book. In fact, I've bought extra copies and have given them to
friends and family. As the author of Shooter and Alex's popular web sites, I emphatically
recommend your book to Yorkie owners daily. I know from personal experience with Alex's
Yorkie Care FAQ pages (that you generously co-authored) that your advice has saved MANY
Yorkie lives. We at Shooterdog.com are in your debt for the service you're performing for
the Yorkie community."
Eric Newman, Yorba Linda, CA
"I advise anyone who buys
a puppy from me to get this booklet. Especially someone who has bred to your stud or
bought a puppy for breeding."
Dianne Mountford, CA
"I read it cover to cover
and thought it was very good."
Joan Gordon, Wildweir Kennels
"This booklet makes it
easier for the lay person to communicate with their vet and then you can get to the root
of the problem quickly."
Steve Robinson, DVM. Oakland, CA
"Thanks for writing this
fantastic book. We've been reading everything we can on yorkies and your book is by far
the most informative."
Connie Maus
"Your booklet is very
informative, especially the portion dealing with the care for neonates (we barely
discussed it in Vet School). Not the same as most books on the market because it deals
with actual experiences."
Brian Tan, DVM. Oakland, CA
"From the minute labor
began for Minyon, our Yorkie, we realized we were unprepared. Our first litter and we had
four girls and one boy...all struggling to survive. We lost all but the one boy. Now that
we have your booklet, we realize how much we didn't know and wish we had it before we
embarked on this journey to increase our Yorkie population."
The Page Family, Palo Alto, CA.
"Not only did I think your
whelping and puppy care book was great, but I loaned it to a new Pug breeder that works
for me. It really helped her with the whelping etc. It should be available on the
market."
Merrill Cohen.
"You saved my puppy's
life, and it's very comforting to know that there are compassionate people like you who
would offer their resources and advice to someone you do not even know. Your book, advice
over the phone, and knowledge has made me feel more prepared for illnesses and contacts
with my vet. Thank you once again!" Arelen Basallaje, CA.
"I advise, and keep copies
on hand to offer, anyone who buys a puppy from me to get this booklet. This book saved 2
of my puppies born with fluid in their lungs. I had read the book and when they were born
gasping for air, I knew what to do. Thanks to you & your book these babies are alive
and healthy today. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Terri."
Tammie Ford , Ponderosa Luv Me Babie, N.C.
"I've been searching for a
show prospect yorkie, and would like to thank you for the effort you put into your book. I
have spent hundreds of dollars on books about yorkies, showing, breeding, etc., and your
book has it all. I wish I had known about your book earlier, maybe it would have saved me
a lot of money as well as pain and suffering."
Thomas Young, DesArc Yorkies, Louisiana
"I want to share with all,
that I have Terri Shumsky's book and I am very happy with it. I do not recommend books if
they are not good, this one is really excellent. I study to be a vet, but this book is
easy to understand and cover the most things needed to have a healthy dog, healthy
breeding, and all that a new breeder needs to know. Thank you Terri for your book, is an
excellent one."
Hilda, Percossi, Argentina
"I have been breeding
Yorkies for ten years and I still found it straight to the point, clear and concise. It is
also the most complete reference book aimed at the Yorkie Owner/Breeder that I have seen.
(And I thought I had them all or at least all that I needed. Only goes to show that
"an old dawg can be taught new tricks" Thanks again for the wonderful book
Terri."
Maryann Moseby, Dislan Yorkies
"Hello: I'm Jill and one
of the new members to the Yorkie Luvrs List. Last week I wrote and ask if anyone could
direct me to resources to learn more about caring for a Yorkie. Many of you responded by
telling me to purchase Terri Shumsky's book "How to Buy Your Toy Dog, And Raise It
Inexpensively." Well, I received it on Friday and couldn't put it down. I hope Terri
doesn't mind me talking about her book but I just couldn't refrain from mentioning how
wonderful it is. To all you new Yorkie owners.....THIS BOOK IS A MUST!!! Terri has been so
good to us newbies by writing this book. Now I understand why many members recommend this
book. Terri has really put a lot of work into this and has answered so many of my
questions! THANK YOU TERRI!! YOU ARE TRULY AN EXPERT!"
