Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's all what the title says it is.
Review: I haven't found a better book about dog breeds yet. The information is accurate, the pictures are beautiful and the price makes it affordable for everyone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Book, beautiful pictures
Review: I thought this book was a good book. It gave a lot of info, though it could have given more. Lots of the pictures were good pictures, but the picture of the King Charles Spaniel for instance made it look bad, the fur was all ruffed up and it was hunched up, it just didn't look good! most of the pictures and information was pretty good. I would recomend this book for people that are interested in dogs, and information about different kinds of dogs. Just one more thing.... it doesn't give pictures of all the dogs, there are a couple that just have names and info, no picture but i would say 97% of them had pictures, so ya, i would buy this book!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pretty Good...
Review: I've had this book for a few years, and a lot of the imformation on the breeds, such as the kennel club recognition and key characteristics are great. The histories though seem to be disputed between the author of this book and the AKC Dog book and other authors of all-breed dog books.

All in all, a pleasure to read and view the illustrations and maps of where the different breeds originated.

Summary: I was hoping for more
Review: While this book had many photos of different breeds, I was surprised at the omissions. I had hoped to see a Fila Brasilero, Havanese, Dogue de Bordeaux and a Neapolitan Mastiff. The Coonhounds, both the red and black and tan were also missing. There was no mention of the American Eskimo dog. The picture of the Rhodesian Ridgeback did not show the ridge that they are so famous for. The information about the dogs contradicted other books and my own experience. I was disappointed in this book.
