Excellent information January 25, 2009
T. M. Hutto (North Carolina)
Excellent resource for the family looking for a dog or just wanting more information about all the different breeds. Good pictures.
Excellent December 19, 2008

This is the best book by far for kids and adults to learn the most common AKC breeds. It is one of the resources used by 4-H when asking Dog Showmanship and Dog Knowledge Bowl questions. Plus it's just a fun and interesting book with colored pictures of each dog, layed out so it's not like you're studying but just enjoying a read. Highly recommend.
Great learning source for all ages November 13, 2008

This History of dog breeds by AKC is simple, down to earth and packed with easy to assimilate information for all ages. And fast reading.. I got two of them and made flash cards of all the dog breeds!

Clear and Informative September 30, 2008
Reckless Consumer (USA)
This is a great book that devotes a page to every AKC-recognized dog breed. It gives a brief history, major characteristics, and a short story about a famous or interesting dog for each breed. Pages are all full color with big, clear photos. The book strikes a perfect balance between providing good information while not getting too in-depth. I borrowed this from the library with my five year old in mind, but my seven year old is the one who can't put it down. I am here to buy her very own copy. This should be #1 on the list for any young dog lover!
Edited to note: When we got our recently purchased copy from Amazon, my daughter noticed that there were several breeds listed which hadn't been in the library's older copy. This is a new edition and has been updated to include all recently AKC-accepted breeds.
Very pleased with book July 14, 2008
Mother of 3 (Rural Illinois USA)
I purchased this book for my daughter's 9th birthday. She wanted a book with lots of real dog pictures in it so she could draw them correctly. I saw this book online and since it's from the American Kennel Club, knew it would be a good representation of the most popular dog breeds around. Boy was I right! This book has great color photos of each breed and interesting facts too. My daughter loved this book! She is also using it to draw dogs from (drawing is her passion). Anyway, I would definitely recommend this book to anyone buying for children because the photos are big and bright and the text is child-friendly.
