4.0 out of 5 stars I like it, October 2, 2005
A Kid's Review
I founda lot of information in the book. I read it about everynight after homework. I am still choosing the right dog for me and my kid sister.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nicely written, but includes one DANGEROUS/DEADLY suggestion by author, January 9, 2009
By Mrs. H (burbs of Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews
The deadly suggestion is found on page 31 in the feeding & nutrition section. On that page is a photo of chocolate candy pieces with the caption, "Very nearly every dog loves chocolate". It's now known that chocolate can be toxic, as in fatally toxic, to dogs. Not much chocolate needs to be ingested, either.

If one removes that great, big error from the book, the rest is rather good. The book provides at least one color photo of each breed described, with well-organized, brief information. Each breed's section includes a small, yellow "breed box" (text box) that covers the areas of size, grooming needs, exercise needs, feeding and temperament, almost in bullet point form. Each breed is also described in several text paragraphs.

My family found this book to be a great place to start in looking for a new dog. We, in fact, discovered a rare breed that we liked very much through this book and did purchase a dog of the same breed for our family. Our little dog has turned out to be just like the book described.

It's a good coffee table book and basic reference tool for looking up dog breeds.

Not quite the "Ultimate Encyclopedia" one would expect from the title. I've read several other guides to dogs that cover each breed much more thoroughly. Read more
