A classic available again! A beautifully illustrated glossary of ALL terms used in the Breed Standards for purebred dogs worldwide. Terms are clearly defined, with reference to specific breeds where the term is used, and most are illustrated with detailed pen & ink drawings by Mary & Peggy Davidson. This is an invaluable reference book for ANYONE involved in the sport of purebred dogs at any level - breeders, exhibitors (conformation, agility, obedience, etc.), judges, as well as veterinarians, vet techs, or vet students. This is a reprint, not a revision or update!

Review
This book has become a classic, and deservedly so. Spira explains every word and phrase used in breed standards around the world clearly and simply, and the text makes reference to actual standards where the terms are used. Canine Terminology is also beautifully illustrated with pen-and-ink drawings by Mary and Peggy Davidson. This is a must-have reference book for every breeder and exhibitor and has long been the definitive book in its field. --Stephanie Horan, Dog World

This review is from: Canine Terminology (Dogwise Classics) (Hardcover)
If you can have only one book on canine terminology and structure, this is it. Thorough, interesting and well illustrated. It will help anyone understand breed standards and breeders' "dog talk".
