Huge book! Super informative.
Great photos. Thick, heavy covers and pages. It explains the history of each breed plus the temperament and housing requirements. Lots of categories and pictures. Info about some positive reinforcement training and breeding, etc. definitely would recommend and/or buy again!

Worth every penny
It was a great gift for my husband who is a dog enthusiast. He loves the book provides variety of information about dogs. He reads the book with our kids before and it’s the cutest thing ever. Definitely worth its value! Also, what a coincidence! We have a GSP/Viszla mix and Dalmatian which are in the front and back of the book!

Beautiful book with interesting factoids
Stumbled on this book at vet oncologist. After good diagnosis for my fur baby, came home and ordered one for myself. I like to know from where breeds originated and why a particular breed was developed - hunt small game, strictly companion, etc. this book provides a quick summary plus beautiful pics. I plan to get another as a gift for a relative.

Exactly What I wanted.
This book provides clear photos and basic information on a few hundred breeds of dogs. I was worried that it would not represent enough of the breeds, perhaps only featuring one or another of the kennel clubs, but I'm glad to say that it is more than sufficient. Owners looking for a new dog may find the volume lacking in information on breed traits, but I really don't think that it's realistic to get all of that from an encyclopedia. Rather, this book excels at helping someone identify breeds, explore relationships among breeds, and such of that. There is an introduction with some neat information on dogs (their evolutionary journey, anatomy, etc.) and a concluding section on dog care (which I admittedly found unneccesary in an encyclopedia, but I won't take off for the filler pages). Also, very importantly, the index in the back is organized very well; looking up a dog breed there will find every reference to the breed listed in normal font, and the breed's main page listed in bold. This means that it is easy to find a breed by name, and also easy to find where that breed may be discussed in comparison to other breeds. Final note, this book is much larger than I thought it would be.
