Featuring over 45 detailed illustrations of the dog, inside and out, this guide is designed to help you learn about breeds of dogs - what makes your dog tick, as well as what may make your dog sick. The anatomy of the dog, including the skeletal system, the muscular system and an overview of the major internal organs, is illustrated and labelled with current terminology. Each detailed drawing is in full colour. Also featured are the seven groups of dogs (recognized by the American Kennel Club) in which all pure breed dogs are included. General characteristics of each of the groups are discussed as well as a complete list of all the dogs that belong to the group (recognized by AKC). Five different breeds from each class are illustrated and rendered. Information about the history of the breed, temperament, physical statistics, features, facts and adaptability is included.
