Format: Hardcover
Calling this the Ultimate Dog Book maybe just overstating it a little bit ... But it is nevertheless a very good book ... The book comes well bound, with good paper and very good colour separation and printing ... Excellent coffee table type book ...
Barron's Encyclopaedia of Dog Breeds probably carries more text and information of each breed, while the New Encyclopaedia of Dogs (B.Fogle) features more breeds, but the photography in this book is visibly better ...
The book does however provide a general over-view of the breeds featured.
Not the kind of book, if you are into detailed information, but will please all who wish to know a little about each breed and enjoy just looking at great photographs ...
Solid overall value ...

I have owned this book since 1991 and can't imagine being a dog owner without it! Beautifully formatted with color pictures and easy to understand descriptions. Not only is this a complete guide to each breed, but it also gives the history of canines. Everything you need to have a general knowledge of can be found in the back of the book; from grooming tools and techniques to the mating cycle. My favorite dog book since 1991!!!

I thought this book had good information in it. I think though, that if you're looking for a book that has not only the popular breeds but also the non-popular I wouldn't go to this book. But if you are looking for a book with the popular breeds then I would look at this book. Overall, the pictures a fine and detailed and it talks about the certain breeds' personality. But remember, each dog is different

I just love dogs and this book is probably the best dog book I have ever read. It is very informitive,has several good dog breeds in there,and has very detailed pictures. At school I am know as the dog freak because I have memorized all the breeds in this book. If you love dogs as much as I do purchase this book.

Does anyone know what kind of dog is jumping with the German Shepherd on the bottom right hand part of page 10? I believe it is not a pure breed, but does anyone have any idea of what it might be a mix of, b/c I just got a puppy, and it nearly looks identical. Thanks

this is a very informative book with pictures and good descriptions of different breeds of dogs. It is a "wish book" for kids who want their own dog!
