Dog Breed Book
27 April 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
My daughter was interested in this book so she could see all the different kinds of dogs there are and so we could become more educated on each dogs temperment, etc. This book doesn't have every breed which was disappointing but there are many dogs represented. Overall I am impressed by this book and happy I bought it.

The Ultimate Guide to Dog Breeds
13 Sep 2009
Format:Paperback
I purchased this book several years ago and found it to be beautifully organized and consistent throughout each breed and class of dog. I just purchased a second book to give as a gift and the recipient's opinion was the same. I've referred to many dog books and find this book one of the best.

The photos are outstanding, the smaller size makes it easy to hold and read. Very well made, should withstand years of reference.
