A very well written book , infact the most exhaustive one on the subject. I had used this back in India when I was rearing my GSD pup and ever since I was hunting for it all over and finally my search has ended with Amazon.

as someone who lists dogs on the net for my local Humane Society for adoption-breed identifaction is very important. On some mixed breeds if I can rule in favor of the dog being part of a certain breed-that may greatly help it's chances for adoption-so I'm always on the lookout for clear, concise new breed info. The breed listings in this book are exceptional-with interesting history of the breed, physical characteristics, and lovely, helpful color drawings of each breed. Since this book was written overseas-you'll find many rare (to US folks) breeds listed that are very interesting to learn about.

The other sections of the book deal with the history of dogs, dog care and dog health are pretty standard for a dog reference book-handy but not specialized. If you are someone who keeps a "library" of dog breed books on hand then I'd recommend adding this one to your collection.
