The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Dog Breeds

Just one of the best breed books I've seen. An amazing amount of information and wonderful photos as well. So glad we purchased this book. Thank you.

I saw a copy of this book in my vet’s office & fell in love! I just had to have my own copy. It has not been a disappointment. Fantastic!

We've been watching dog shows for years, and I'd go online to search out information about breeds with which we weren't familiar. Finally, we decided to get a real Book of the Dog, so to speak. And this book is just perfect for us. With two pictures (minimum) of each breed, included in the text for each are a complete description of breed requirements, temperament, grooming requirements, and other information necessary if one is considering giving a home to a particular breed. This book includes all AKC breeds, and is a joy to use when we want more complete information on any breed recognized by the club.

I ordered a “like new” copy of the book and while there are no visible stains or tears, the book itself just looks old and worn. The jacket is slightly yellowed and not white. As for the information in the book, it is interesting to look through and gives examples of different breeds and different coats of the breeds if they exist. the language isn’t overly complex, and it’s great for quick reference.

Great

THis book has met all our expectations. It is thorough and gives good pictures and info about the various breeds of dogs. We had no problem getting it on time and it was in excellent shape. We will definitely use Amazon and this seller again if they have the items we are looking for.

I was a bit disappointed in this book. The title itself made me think it would have a decent amount of pictures... that is not true! Many breeds mentioned in this book don't even have a picture. There is an entire section called "rare breeds" that are lacking photos. I ordered this book to help our family pick a forever friend for our Blue tick coon hound (which is one of the breeds NOT pictured!) But aside from breeding and show dog info this book isn't that great. I will be keeping it because the kids like to look at the pictures but it's not a book I would recommend.Also I bought a used copy in "very good condition". It had a sticker on it, the paper cover that wraps around the hardback is torn and has definitely seen better day. I would hardly call this "very good"

This is a book I purchased to keep in the waiting area of my pet salon. Kids waiting on their dogs to be groomed have loved flipping through and looking at all the different breeds, and it has been useful when mixed breeds come in to try and guess what kind of dogs they are, as well as show owners examples of breed cuts, although some of the pictures do not show the dogs in their breed cut. Overall, this has been great to have.

Wonderful book, and in perfect condition, thanks so much !!!

Excellent condition and great value

The book is in good used condition which is fine BUT it's missing the paper jacket cover which was a big disappointment. There's no indication what the book is about when you first see it -- it's not inviting whatsoever.... just a dark unexciting plain drab book.... until you open it.... then it's wonderful.

When i received this book it looked like it was used , with a discolored and ripped cover .
