Mini-Atlas, Mega-Knowledge

Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2017

Verified Purchase

This book has become one of my most treasured belongings. It encompasses not only the information on each different breed of dogs in the world but also the origins and the historical backgrounds thereof with adorable photos. Also, this mini atlas of dogs has taught me about 10 groups of the canine, such as Sight Hounds, Mastiffs, Nordic Dogs, Guns Hounds, Flock Hounds, Herding Hounds, Toys, Terriers, Scent Hounds, and Pariahs. Although it was published in the 1990s, it will not prevent you from being acquainted with the world of the canine with the extensive provision of the knowledge on dog breeds, not to speak of the excellent writing style that is at once so elegant and amusing.

This is the best book I've seen on dog breeds

Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2018

I have my own dog-eared copy of this book and just bought one as a gift for a friend. This is the best book I've seen on dog breeds, with more breeds shown. It is the one I always refer to when looking up a breed or trying to identify a mystery dog. There are photos of most breeds, but some are so obscure that there are only drawings of them. There's a thorough, standardized description of each breed, too. My only caution is that since it was written in 1990, the information on which kennel clubs recognize a particular breed is out of date.

Outstanding book, a must have for dog lovers of all ages

Reviewed in the United States on April 26, 2014

The book deserves six stars or more because it really is a great extensive collection of any imaginable dogbreed out there (each one with a photo, a few with a high quality drawing), however, "Value Promenade" had some nerve listing this book as in good condition. Listing it as acceptable would have been quiet optimistic. The hardbackcover was almost completely torn off of the back binding. This, should have been considered when listing a book as in good condition. I will make it a point to not order from "Value Promenade" again.

mini-atlas of dog breeds

Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2013

This book is excellent, I got it used on E-bay at an excellent price. Each breed gets a full page with nice pics. and a section on portrait, development, recognition, and character. One thing I liked was a symbol exposition which tells you what you need to know on the page of the breed with symbols. The book also has a long section on choosing a pup, general care and health care. Well worth the money.

The Mini Atlas of Dog Breeds: My Best Dog Book – Over 500 Color Photos & 400 Breeds

Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2018

I’ve got to say it: I LOVE DOGS, so any book that deals with them will find its way into my hands. I originally bought this book when we lived overseas and found our American Eskimo Dog, Sami, who had alopecia and was wandering around the streets in Kuwait City after the Liberation of Kuwait. Finding him was one of the best things that we have ever had happen to us. In Arabic, an Eskie is called a ‘Lulu’, which means ‘pearl’ in English. Our boy sure was our ‘pearl’!

When I got Sami, I had no idea what breed he was, and most of his coat was gone. At this point, I bought this book, and started at the beginning, paging slowly through it to try to find out what breed he could be. Imagine my surprise when I found out that he was an American Eskimo!

After I knew what breed he was and what he should look like, we tried to find a vet, but the vet practices weren’t up and running yet. Then, I went to a pharmacist, showed him Sami, and I asked him what he thought Sami’s problems were. He told me and then sold me vitamins and medications to cure his alopecia. 3 months later, he was starting to look like a healthy American Eskimo, and growing his glorious coat back.

Because of a threatened re-invasion of Kuwait, we shipped Sami back to the States to my parents and then took some of my husband’s family’s new litter of Chow Chow pups, whose parents were registered, and originally coming from Russia. This male and female pair of Chows was then shipped to Kuwait, where they had a litter. This book again helped us learn more about Chows.

“The Mini-Atlas” has over 500 color photos and or hand-drawn graphics. There are over 400 international breeds showcased, many of whom are recognized by at least one of the international kennel organizations. This hard-cover book has 574 semi-glossy pages.

Some of the breed entries take up 2 pages, while others only take up 1 page. I don’t know what their criteria are for the 2-page entries, but they are probably the more well-known, popular breeds. The standard format for each entry consists of 4 main parts in bold text: ‘Portrait’, ‘Development’, ‘Recognition’, and ‘Character’. At the bottom of the page are an array of symbols found on pages 78-79, and these symbols encompass: the type of breed; the suitability for living inside or outside; whether they are aggressive; the trainability for being a seeing-eye/ assistance or search and rescue dog; the sizes of breed; any special coat care; whether they the need a lot of exercise; the suitability for companionship, etc.

I have bought multiple copies of this book and given them to fellow dog lovers, with one going to our dog trainer (who ‘trains’ me on how to deal with some issues like mixing multiple numbers of dogs and breeds, etc.). He also agrees that this is the best general breed book that he has ever seen.

I also own some outstanding breed-specific dog books, but this is the best book that I own about all of the breeds. The dimensions of this book are slightly less wide than normal books, but it is heavy. I would like to see this same book in a much larger size – bigger and wider.

The authors of this book are Andrew De Prisco and James B. Johnson.

The publisher is T.F.H. Publications, Inc. Neptune City, NJ.

Note that there are multiple international breed organizations for classifying dogs, but the 2 main ones are the UK/ Canadian and the US. The US organizes their dogs into 7 main groups, while the UK organizes their dogs into 6 groups.

The ‘Contents’ of this book begins with the following introductory sections: How to Use This Mini-Atlas; Foreword; Choosing a Best Friend; General Care; Health Care; and Symbol Exposition, pages 5-80.

Next come the 10 classifications of the different breeds, pages 81-539. (Note that all of the different international breed organizations that recognize a particular breed of dog are listed in each entry. For example, American Eskimos are recognized by the UKC, while Chows are recognized by the : FCI, AKC, UKC, KCGB, CKC, and ANKC.):
Part 1: Sighthounds
Part 2: Mastiffs
Part 3: Nordic Dogs (examples include Eskies and Chows)
Part 4: Gundogs
Part 5: Scenthounds
Part 6: Toys
Part 7: Flock Guardians
Part 8: Herding Dogs
Part 9: Terriers
Part 10: Pariahs

Following these there are the:
1. ‘Contributors and Owners’
2. ‘Index’
3. ‘Recommended Reading’ (Bibliography)

Note: In the ‘’Acknowledgements, before the ‘Contents’, the authors mention having read the tome, “The Atlas of Dog Breeds of the World”, and this was their reason for creating this ‘mini atlas’ of dog breeds. Guess what my next dog book will be?

“The Mini-Atlas of Dog Breeds” is truly a coffee table book because it won’t stay on a reader’s book shelf for very long! I look at mine constantly.

If I could, I would give this book 10 stars!
