 Encyclopedia of Dog Breeds January 4, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Fabulous coffee table book with excellent pictures of every dog breed. More importantly, a must get for the person (like me) planning to get a puppy. The thorough text told about characteristics of the breed so I could narrow down the options and get the puppy that really suited me. Now that I have that puppy (Havanese) I continue to refer to the book as I hear about or see other breeds that I want to learn about.

Great book with lots of information but a bit large and heavy.

This is a great book with big pages and is very easy to read. There is at least one large color photo of each breed in the book. The price is very good considering all of the information contained in the book.

This is an excellent book which provides just enough insight and expertise for casual dog fans and owners without overdoing it. More intense, information-hungry dog aficionados might want more but that's not what the book delivers. The quality of the pictures is outstanding and give an accurate representation of the dogs appearance, although there aren't too many (if any, as I recall) of the depicted breeds as pups.
The rating system for strengths and weaknesses of each breed is an extremely effective way to quickly educate the readers, especially on types they may not be familiar with. I'd give the book a five star rating, but then Dr. Coile would have nothing to shoot for.

This is a great overview of AKC breeds. There are 2 full color photos (not drawings) of the dogs. I refer to this book all the time. It covers the history of the breeds, statistics, temperment,personality, health isuues, and much more. I bought one for me and one for my sister. I highly recommend this book!
