Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon

There's the Scottish Terrier ("an earth dog used in hunting the fox and the brocke"), the Boston Terrier ("a lively, highly intelligent, smooth coated, short-headed, compactly built, short- tailed, well balanced dog"), or the Great Dane ("one of the most elegant and distinguished varieties of giant-type dog"). In fact, there are 146 AKC-recognized breeds profiled within the pages of the Complete Dog Book, and the pictures and text provide great bowser browsing. The breed descriptions help you choose among the hounds, terriers, toys, and working breeds, the herders, guard dogs, and sporting breeds. Measurements help determine which dogs will best fit your abode (Chesapeake Bay Retrievers measure 21 to 26 inches high at the shoulder, Chinese Cresteds are a mere 11 to 13 inches off the ground, while the Irish Wolfhound stands 30 to 32 inches tall), breed temperaments help you choose your ideal pet, and show criteria help you know what you're looking for when you actually start to shop for a pup. In the meantime, there are interesting stories about breed origins, and a useful glossary of dog terms, while the chapters on grooming, training, and Canine Health and First Aid will come in handy once you've brought your new dog home. --Stephanie Gold

5.0 out of 5 stars The complete dog book, 19th edition revised., May 20 2011
This review is from: The Complete Dog Book, 19th Edition Revised (Hardcover)
Really good book if you want the history of the dog and all the breed standards. The pictures aren't in colour except for a few that are grouped together at the middle and end of the book

This book is a good reference for breeders and enthusiasts. It has the breed standards for all the AKC recognized breeds as of the publication date. It also goes into basic dog care. I would definitely recommend it to families still struggling with what breed to pick out. Check out the book, talk with your veterinarian then go to a dog show and talk with breeders and trainers.

Excellent book. You can find most of this information on their web site, but it's great to take to a dog show when you have questions about other breeds. Wonderful book. I always reference it.
