4.0 out of 5 stars A good, reference but not a joy for the eys, 20 Jan 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Dogs: The Ultimate Dictionary of Over 1000 Dog Breeds (Paperback)
If you are looking for fancy pictures this is not the book for you, this is meant to be a reference dictionary. For each breed you can find an account of its origins and the description of its main physical characteristics and temperament. For most of the breed a black and white not very good drawing is present and for some of them even a reference bibliography. It is possible to find not only the breeds recognised by the kennel clubs, but also many others. The book could be improved by a systematic addition of the average (or standard) size and weight of each breed.

This book provides a wealth of information about the many dog breeds now available in the UK. It is particully useful if one is looking to purchase a breed for the first time and wishes to find its caracteristics.

3.0 out of 5 stars Well worth having in a dog lover's library., 15 Mar 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Dogs: The Ultimate Dictionary of Over 1000 Dog Breeds (Paperback)
Dog lovers will enjoy browsing. Not expensive.
Comprehensive. The author's personal thoughts come through. Perhaps more detail should have been included for popular breeds and less on extinct breeds.

1.0 out of 5 stars a waste of paper
Did he research this book or dream it?
Are the illustrations representative of the breed, the canine species or indeed anything, at all, on four four legs? Read more
