Product Description
Product Description
Part of a great new series of comprehensive and accessible encyclopedias on our favourite animals, this is your definitive guide to the dog. Discover the dog throughout history and culture, its uses and status, anatomy, appearance and behaviour, and take in a wealth of practical advice on how to choose a dog, care, health, breeding, training and showing your dog. Information on evolution and classification is included before succinct clear entries go on to cover all the main breeds of dog (nearly 400), organised by geographical origin and then by size. Helpful statistics and icons provide essential information at a glance.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
We bought this for our 10 year old daughter who is mad about dogs. The book arrived really promptly - thanks to Amazon Prime - and is a lovely book with plenty of pictures. Great value for money.
Format:Paperback
This book is great reading, interesting history on dogs, lots of info and great description on the breeds. The definative encyclopedia!
Format:Paperback
Masses of useful information for a very reasonable price. This has breeds I've never heard of! Most of the information I read - this is a book to dip into - was accurate, apart from suggesting that Corgis were born with a natural bobtail. This is very rare. They used to have their tails docked painlessly, at one day old; in the UK now docking is no longer practised in the breed.The Complete Illustrated Encyclopedia of Dogs and Puppies: Authoritative Reference Care and ID Manual (The Complete Illustrated Encyclopedia)

A fantastic canine compendium
I got my copy of this book last week. I must declare an interest as my brother is the author. I was expecting it to be a nice, skim through once type of read. Read more
