 The Best Dog Breed Book!! July 3, 2004
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is a great dog breed book! Not only are the pictures wonderful (excellent speciments of each breed), but I love the information and history offered on each breed. A summary of the breed standard is included, as well as, temperment and level of activity, potential health problems, and growth information on each breed. I have looked at many breed books and this is my absolute favorite.
 Please don't buy this book February 8, 2004

This book was really disappointing. Over the last 15 years, our family has owned an Irish Setter, Lab, and Standard Poodle. We bought several books to start researching other breeds prior to beginning a search for a new dog. In the preface of this book, it says that the authors of the book have surveyed breeders and owners of the breeds and they trust that the contributors have been candid and realistic. Well they weren't. Do you think the breeders and owners might have been a little partial to their respective breeds??? Much of the information was sugar coated. "Paws to Consider" by Kilcommons and Wilson is a much more objective book. It is based on the authors 45 years of combined experience as dog trainers.

I have several dog books, but this is my favorite. It has lots of wonderful color pictures of the dogs, and detailed information on each breed. An excellent book for dog lovers, as well as an exceptional refrence for anyone researching dog breeds for themselves.

This book has alot of information about each breed but not alot of general dog information. Thats what I liked about it. It has alot of breeds listed, with 4 of 5 photos of each one. It describes the AKC standard, health problems, and characteristics of each breed. A great coffee table book for dog lovers.
