The Atlas of Dog Breeds of the World Hardcover – January 1, 1995

4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars 45 ratings

This is absolutely the best reference book on dog breeds I have ever seen. It is huge, containing over 900 pages. There is information on every dog breed. Even extinct breeds are included accompanied by drawings. There is a least one photograph of each dog breed shown in full-color on glossy stock. The more popular the breed, the more photos there are of it. Most are large and several are in full-page format. Information on each breed includes country of origin, registry, group, colors, height/weight, other names & coat description. A detailed history & their personality traits are also included. This is the book to get if you want a great way to learn about rare & seldom seen breeds. The unusual appearance of some the dogs is fascinating.

This book is huge and from what I understand the most comprehensive dog book out there. The binding is weak so you have to handle it carefully because it is so heavy.

For dog lovers everywhere, this book offers you an insightful history to dogs and can be used as an educational tool for learning about dog breeds and their purpose with real clarity of temperament and level of care. This book is a great piece of literature for those that study dog and want to know not just the American breeds but seek to be more knowledgeable of world wide breeds. With well over 300 breeds in our world, this book is a wonderful resource to increase your awareness from the 178 American breeds, and 210 Kennel Club breeds to the well over 300 dog breeds of the world.

More comprehensive than I imagined possible. I don't know how easy these are to come by. My musty copy lived in a library in the Deep South in its previous life. Well worth the search!

So I had this book many years ago the original edition, destroyed in a fire I have been eagerly looking for it in good condition. The seller states good condition but when I received it the bind was coming apart. A bit disappointing. Other than that the book pages are fine but the bind which is critical in holding the book together is falling apart. So I am worried about the life span of the book.
