Miniature Pinchers, Conplete Pet Owner's Manual.......2006-07-24
I found the book to be very factual, interesting and some times
amusing. I would recomend that anyone interested in getting a
miniature pincher first read this book.
Great for new owners!!.......2005-06-21
I've had a copy of this book on my dog book shelf for many years. Each new puppy buyer is encouraged to get a copy of this book prior to picking up their new dog. I often have extra copies for my new owners.
A small but very complete reference manual that covers most of the basics and then some. I would encourage anyone new to the breed to pick up a copy. You'll find yourself reviewing chapters throughout your dogs lifetime.
Good info, but badly printed.......2004-04-14
I decided to get this book to help me understand my new Min Pin. It has great information, including behavior, obedience, nutrition and grooming. It's hard to read, though, because the pages are printed out of order. One chapter will abruptly stop, then pick up a few pages down (after another chapter has started). It makes it confusing and hard to follow. I'm very surprised that a publisher would have been so careless as to put pages out of order like this.
Excellent overview.......2003-08-06
While this isn't an exhaustive book on my favorite little bundle of energy...it's really quite good for the size and price. I got this book after my son brought home a mini-pin in need of a family.
While deciding if this little (9 pound) angelic looking creature would be suited for our family it was a good book for an overview on common health problems (some skin problems that she has had, som knee problems that she has not had)... some behavioral issues with other dogs (that she has had) and that they are one person dogs (which she hasn't had)...that they are very much the *clown* (which she very much is :). Overall...my point is...the book for it's small size and and low price was a very good intro to my new family pet.
I would suggest buying this book prior to buying the dog. It's always better to know if a dog is suited to you before you make a 15 year committment.
All you need to know in a single book.......2000-12-21
Miniature Pinscher by Caroline Coile has proven to be a very comprehensive book on this mighty dog. This book cover topics such as: history, how to pick a min pin, raise it, understand it, train it, No-No's, how to take care of its skin and its problems, how to choose a vet, preventive medicine, genetics, and even a Min Pin Nomenclature! This book has a special chapter on "Understanding the Min Pin Mind" which I find very helpful. Vision, Olfaction, Taste, Hearing and Pain are briefly yet accurately covered here. In addition to its friendly language, 34 color photographs + illustrations will help you know what you really need to know about the mighty Miniature Pinschers. Highly Recommendable.
Miniature Pinscher de Caroline Coile ha demostrado ser un libro íntegro sobre este poderoso perro. Este libro cubre temas tales como: historia, como seleccionar un min pin, criarlo, o que no debe hacer, como cuidar de su piel y sus problemas, como seleccionar al veterinario, medicina preventiva, genética, e incluso la Nomenclatura de los Pinscher Miniatura! Este libro tiene un capítulo especial titulado "Comprenda la Mente del Pinscher Miniatura" el cual me parece de gran utilidad. La visión, el olfato, el gusto, la audición y el dolor son abarcados en este capítulo de forma breve pero muy precisa. Además de su idioma sencillo y ameno, tiene 34 fotografías a color e ilustraciones que le ayudarán a conocer lo que usted necesita saber sobre el poderoso Pinscher Miniatura. Altamente recomendable.

Basic, Not Breed Specific.......2007-09-20
When I first got this book, I was extremely excited to learn about the "king of toys", but once I started reading it, I began to quickly lose interest in it. Why?
Well, for starters, this book contained very little about the breed itself, save the standard. Most of the information was for people who had never before owned a dog in their life. Since I own four dogs already and I am a dog groomer, I was expecting more from this book.
Frankly, I would only recommend this book to absolute novices who know nothing about feeding, exercise, or basic grooming. For anyone who has been in contact with a dog for 24 consecutive hours, I'd say skip this book and try one of the books in the Kennel Club or Terra Nova series.
Useful and well organized book.......2007-01-27
I was very happy with the how quickly I was sent the book. I was needing the information asap and the seller really impressed me. I have ordered other books from other sellers and have waited 4 weeks only to be told that they no longer have that book. I was impressed with the information and details in the book. It is very user friendly and one can quickly find the specific section needed with the great table of contents. I ordered the book for the training information and was happy with that as well. I would definitely recommend this book to other Min Pin owners.
Good MinPin book.......2006-05-31
It's a pretty good breed specific book. The book does include a valuable amount of information and most of the pictures are pretty attractive. I found the health section to be of particular use. Still, the presentation could have been a little better.
A great hand book for new owners of a Min Pin.......2001-03-11
Being a first time owner of a Min Pin I wanted to learn more about the breed. I bought several books about Min Pins and found "Miniature Pinschers" by Jacqueline O'Neil to contain all of the information I wanted at a very good price. The book contains information on the history of Min Pins, characteristics and standards, selecting a puppy, housebreaking and other training, feeding, Health and dental care, behavior, and caring for a Min Pin. It is more concise than another book that I bought but it contained the same information. It is full of beautiful colorful pictures. I highly recommend this book.

This book was very helpful.......2002-07-24
I have read this book twice, and refer to it as needed. It certainly outlined the characteristics of the breed and all have proven to be true. If there is a downside to this book it is all the information about showing, since my Min Pin is a pet. But then even that provided some good information.
I liked the book and would buy it again.
Excellent for new owners or people thinking of buying one.......2002-02-04
I recommend anyone thinking of buying a min pin, read this book first. They are not just your average house dog, and this book tells you several things you should take into consideration. Although I purchased it after buying a min pin, it really helped me learn about their history, nature, showing qualifications, as well as other things.
An Excellent Reference On Min Pins.......2001-02-01
This is definitely not a cut and paste dog book. Most everything you could wish to know is included in this book...the history of the dog, it's personality traits, gait diagrams, obstacle track training (!), and famous past show dogs. Plenty of references for further reading, pictures, and some weblinks. The most impressive thing for me was the pain the author goes through to make sure you know what you're getting into purchasing a Min Pin. The breed is high maintenance and very high strung. A cherished pet, but comparable to a toddler who never grows up. It is an important fact. My Min Pin is a rescue from a family that merely felt the breed was 'cute.' This is an excellent book for those who already own, but should be required for those considering a first-time Min Pin.

Excellent look at the tradition of teapots!.......2000-11-22
This is a fun picture book and an informative volume--as an art lover and a seller of YiXing teapots, I found all of the images inspirational. It's wonderful to see examples of people thinking "outside of the box!"
The Eccentric Teapot is hilarious!.......2000-05-31
For over 4,000 years tea drinking as been a social custom starting in China where elegant ceremonies have slowly evolved. The forms of the teapot have been endlessly imaginative; from humble to elegant; quirky to abstract. The designs of teapots have long flourished in both Eastern & Western cultures. This book celebrates some of the more sublime, outrageous & exotic teapots. Both comfortingly familiar & utterly peculiar, this fanciful, provocative & intriguing gallery includes portrait pots of Brooke Shields & Queen Elizabeth; teapots impersonate animals, vegetables & fruit. Teapots so far removed from steeping tea that they resemble drawings of themselves. Some pots are quite ugly! Still a hilarious & fascinating look at what artists have done to the humble teapot. END
The bellhop teapot on the cover is available for sale........1998-03-03
I purchased "The Eccentric Teapot : Four Hundred Years of Invention by Garth Clark for my wife who collects teapots. Her collection is limited to handmade signed-by-the-artist teapots and teapots of unique (you could call eccentric) designs. I gave her the book Christmas morning. Throughout the day she briefly skimmed the photographs and histories of truly unusual teapots. Then after dinner I gave her one more present that was "forgotten" in the morning unwrapping rush. She was DELIGHTED to see that I had given her an exact replica of the bellhop teapot pictured on the cover! What a great way to top an already impressive gift for the teapot collector! She now displays the book and teapot together. I bought the teapot from the CIRCA Catalog. (800) 755-0403. I haven't seen the teapot in the catalog recently, so I don't know if it's still available.
