The book is done well, really enjoyed reading about the differentsbreed. Love the book.
Gave this book to my niece for her 8th b'day. beautiful photos. Great breed descriptions. She is a dog lover and shows her dog in obedience. She was thrilled with the book and enjoys learning more about the breeds that she sees at class and shows.
Really like this book, it has a lot of dog breeds but the explanation of each breed it's sort of brief and not very much informative but it's a good reference book and it has information about the dogs health, anatomy, behavior and other things. It has really nice pictures of the dogs from different breeds.
I got this book for a gift for my mother for Christmas and she absolutely loves it and so does everyone else in the family.
This book on Dogs covered dogs that I had never heard of and all the dogs that I am familiar with in the US. It is well worth the money.
