This Smithsonian Handbook takes a photo encyclopedic approach to the world of dogs. It gives information on the evoluoution of the domestic dog. From companion dogs to working dogs it gives distinguishing features and the classification of dog breeds.
This book contains over three hundred dog breeds. This book gives the most immaculate details I have ever seen in any dog identification manual I have ever read.
This book includes over three hundred dog breeds and wonderfully colored photos.
I very strongly recommend this book for any dog lover who wants to find out a broad variety of information on a very wide array of dog breeds.



Dogs by: David Alderton

Our then-3-year-old son originally read the Insects book and carried it around with him everywhere (it stayed on his bed stairs at night!), excitedly pointing out insects and bugs he found in our yard. We checked out some others from the library and decided to buy the rest of them as they're wonderful reference books and we wanted to foster our son's love for learning.

He love this Dogs book, too. It's thorough, descriptive, has vibrant and detailed pictures, and is very durable (we own the "turtleback" versions, which have harder covers than paperback ones). It helps him understand the different species of dogs, especially when I'm talking about the neighbor's Samoyed, Pug, or whatnot. This set will last for years and encourage our sons (our 2-year old loves them, too, especially the Reptiles one) to explore the world around them, both in books and outside.

I bought this several years ago knowing my husband wanted a dog. He constantly was reviewing the breeds. We now have a 2 1/2 PWD and we still refer to it when we want to know more about a breed. Good addition to a library if you like dogs.

This book is a wonderful reference book especially when you are in the dog rescue business.

My friend has a copy of this book that is almost the same, but shorter and fatter. I was jealous and bought this book, but found this one was way better, beacuse hers doesn't have as much information or dogs! This book tells almost everything you need to know on all the breeds of dogs. If you are a dog lover, buy this book!

DOGS

The book I have decided to read is the book called DOGS. The author of this book is David Alderson. This book caught my eye when I was looking for a book to read for my English class. I was very entertained by this book.

I thought this book was great because it list and explains a variety of dogs. This book by David Alderson is also a great recourse book for any projects needed. And it is ranked the most accessible recognition guide. It also list and shows how to keep your dogs teeth clean, hair and paws clean as a whistle

It is also a great book if you are looking to buy a dog. This book list dogs such as German shepherds, miniature dolt shuns and much more. It also lists about the dog's names where they came from, where they originated and what they were used for.

This book was great to read and very interesting. This book is very entertaining and i am shore it will be to you. He is a great Author and I hope he comes out wit more books about this one.

this book has lots of really cool pictures and lots of really pretty dogs joe
