Gift to my Grand Daughter June 26, 2006

I was very impressed by the coverage of the different types of dogs and their particular traits; the pictures are also large and beautifully rendered.

I have had this book for a couple of years now, and I have to say that I am ultimatly impressed by the overall appearance and content of the book. While the book doesn't go into great detail about any of the dogs, it does provide you with the basics of each breed, and so this could be a useful resource if you are starting to look at dogs and want to know a bit about the breed until you pick out your favorites. Then it would be time to find a book specifically about that breed. The book also gives some general information on the anatomy and systems of the dog, basic care and info on equiptment. This is not a book for the person who has had dogs for years, but rather for a beginner, opr someone who needs help picking a dog.

I got this book mainly because I own a matese female dog named Minnie. She's almost 2 years old and is a great companion at home. I am also very curious to learn more and more about dogs: their history, breeds, cares, behavior etc. This encyclopedia by DK suits fine what I was looking for. Although it has not detailed information it is full of beautiful pictures and more than five houndred different dog types. It will make a great "coffe-table book" on my place !!

my son got this book from a library, and he loves it. i just think they are wrong about some things. he says that chow chows are mean.!? they are so nice and cuddly.but other than that, it's amazing.
I Loved This Book, And You Will Too! April 27, 2006
Over 400 breeds and history, Bruce Fogle did it again! Even though other reviews say it's bad, I count it way up there! Very well organized, although I was hoping for more. There is a lot of info on each dog breed page. BUY THIS BOOK!
