The Dog Encyclopedia

Dogs Encyclopedia is a great book! I bought this as a gift for my niece. She loved the book and read it to me for a long time. The photos are beautiful! There is information about many different breeds and includes a profile of each breed, any special care they need, and what type of owner is best for the breed (families, Adult only, home with large yard etc). I believe this is a great book to help young readers improve their skills, while learning about an interesting subject. My niece wants to be a vet. and we both feel this book will help her towards her goal.

This book is every dog lover's fantasy: every breed, illustrations of every breed, and pros and cons of owning each kind of breed. The book arrived in immaculate condition, though I know it won't stay that way long. What more can I say? Ember Lennep

I am in the process of becoming a dog trainer and I have a few dog breed books that only seem to give a snippet of information. I agree with the previous reviews that this has more information than other books and also information on some breeds I had never even heard of. If you want to learn about dog breeds I think you could use this book and learn more than you could by reading 5 other ones.

I have owned this book for two years now and I find it is the best dog book out there. It covers the most amount of dog breeds, even the rare breeds and gives a great detailed description of each one. There are atleast two pages with pictures of each breed. Great, great book. best that's out there for the serious dog lover!

I picked this book up from the stacks of "bargain books" at B & N (though it turns out I probably paid full price). I was shocked to find that this book outdoes pretty much all the other dog books we have around the house (and that's no small collection!). The pictures are tremendous for each breed, the discussion of the breeds with which we're familiar are pretty spot-on, and the coverage of some of the more obscure dog breeds is incredible. Don't overlook this book - it's a gem.
