Product Description
Updated with the latest information on canine breeds recognized by the American Kennel Club, this lavishly illustrated volume is a treasure house of information for dog lovers, owners, breeders, and prospective buyers. It begins with a detailed discussion of breed evolution, focusing on the physical and behavioral traits that distinguish one canine breed from another. The books main section profiles more than 150 breeds, arranged in the general categories specified by the AKCSporting Group, Hound Group, Working Group, Terrier Group, Toy Group, Non-Sporting Group, and Herding Group. Each profile tells how and why the breed was developed, and how selection to perpetuate specific traits affects a dogs suitability as a pet. Advice for prospective dog owners will help them be sure they are choosing a breed that is compatible with their own situation and needs. They will also find information on each breeds vulnerability to specific health problems, longevity, exercise needs, compatibility with children, and much more. Profuse illustrations include color photos of all listed breeds.

 Not quite as billed August 29, 2009
Larry (Kingston, NY)
Although item was billed as "like new," back of book had been bent; spine was rather used. Book condition was decent though not new.

This book was a former libray book. It is in great shape and very informative. Delivery was prompt, and the price was right!

This was a gift for my recent birthday and I have just started to read it. The information presented is to the point and fairly accurate. The photos are of high quality and hopefully I will be able to make a more informed decision as to the next breed of dog that I will be acquiring as a pet.
