Summary: A Great Reference Book for Dog Lovers Everywhere!
Review: If you are a dog lover, and would like to learn more about particular dog breeds, this book is excellent! It includes AKC Registered dogs, as well as a whole lot of other breeds. The pictures are beautiful, and the format is easy to read and understand. Also, if you are not familiar with dog terminology-rat tail-brindle (a color)-this book provides an excellent glossary. One of my favorite features us the way the group's members (ex: herding, sporting, etc.) have the pictures of ALL the dogs so you know what the book has at a glance. I also LOVE the way they show you what the colors are by taking a picture of them and putting them in little boxes. They also define pictorally the body parts of a dog, head and face types, eyes, ears, and tail types. Overall, this book is the best I have seen! I'd recommend this book to ANYone, dog lover or not, to learn about the dogs...Happy Reading!

Summary: A very good book for a dog lover in general.
Review: If you are looking to inform yourself about one breed in particular, this is not the book for you. It more less focuses on all the breeds, rather than a few. It has very nice photographs that make you feel as if the dog was only a few inches away from the graspe of your hand. The photographs cover a large variety of the breed's traits.......some are puppies, some are females, while others being male or long or short haired. The information, on the other hand, was not as detailed as I had expected. The information that was provided was interesting and even in some instances helpful to me, but if you are wanting to learn a great amount of information about one type of dog, I would reccomend not purchasing this book. But, once agian, if you just LOVE dogs and are wanting a great resource of pictures, this book would really suit you.

Summary: Lovely photographs ...
Review: If you're looking for a book with lovely photographs of lots of dogs ... this is the perfect book ... There are over 200 colour images, each breed is represented by several photographs ... Especially like the fact that the age of the dogs are also mentioned ... It's been produced with typical Japanese attention to small details ... the pictures are well taken and reproduced, images sharp & colours true ... the paper quality and binding good ... However ... if you are looking for pictures & INFORMATION on the breeds themselves ... then this book might disappoint somewhat ... We found breed information to be rather sparse ... its not going to assist very much as a guide to finding a suitable breed ... For breed information try some other books that Amazon keep in stock (eg. Barron's Encyclopedia of Dog Breeds)... But then ... this book doesn't hold itself out to be anything more than a photographic record and general guide to dog breeds ... so 5 stars Good book to place on the coffee table, to keep visitors visually entertained while you get the tea & cookies ready ...

Summary: Legacy of the Dog
Review: This book contains fantastic photographs and brief write-ups of 200 breeds of dogs. I would have liked more information on each breed, especially info on temperament. The photos are top-notch, however, beautifully done. Definitely a good, though pricy, general guide to review when you are considering what kind of dog to buy.

Summary: Legacy of the Dog: The Ultimate Illustrated Guide
Review: This is a great book on breeds. Although, I believe that
the ASPCA's Complete Guide to Dogs was much more helpful in
my research on the breeds. Even though Legacy of the Dog has
200 breeds, I believe the ASPCA's Complete Guide to Dogs tells
you more of how the breed acts, and the amount of exercise the dog needs and energy they have, while the Legacy of Dogs seems to more tell you where the breed comes from and how they appear... It is a great book, but when compared.... It comes in second in my dog breed collection.

Summary: A beautiful book that really does justice to the dogs.
Review: This is one of my favorite dog books, if only for the photographs. The strength of this book is in the pictures, not necessarily the text; there are others with more thorough information on the temperament and health needs of each breed, for instance. But the photography is superb. There are several high-quality color photos of each breed, both puppies and adults, all so clearly captured on film that you can practically feel their fur. A fun, visual browse that any dog-lover will enjoy
