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".

This is a must read, must have for Dog Breeders, Exhibitors, Judges. It is the only book of it's type and should be in your library.

This is a very useful book that should be on every dog breeder's bookshelf. I go back to it often to review many things relating to canine conformation

Canine Terminology by Harold Spira is a timeless classic that every dog enthusiast should own. If you are the slightest bit interested in breeding dogs, showing dogs or just knowing about dogs this book explains clearly,concisely and with excellant drawings what all the terms that you will find in dog breed standards and show reports actually mean. It is written for all levels of knowledge in a non-patronising way that imparts knowledge and instills confidence in the reader and also shows a love and respect of the subject. This book is widely recommended by many courses on dogs, quite deservedly so.

I am studying to become a dog groomer, and sometimes the amount of technical jargon can become overwhelming. This book helped me quite a bit in that department, with explanations in plain language and wonderful illustrations. A must for everyone who is considering becoming involved in the pet industry.

What a book! For anyone in the dog industry, I found this book of canine terminology fascinating. I love it! To me it's the "Dog Dictionary". As I'm fairly new to the industry this book will certainly bring me up to speed.
