Well done general canine reference

This is a well done, quick & general reference. It provides a high level overview & attempts to note general variances in many of the breeds. It falls a bit short on adequately describing temperaments, which are as critical in chosing a dog as the type, size, coat & color. It's especially beneficial to novice pet owners who are trying to learn about & compare suitable options. The picture quality is generally quite good but dated for some breeds.

Excelent resource tool.

I have been training dogs for six years now and out of all of the breed reference materials that I have used, this is one of the easiest that I have found. Its size makes it easy to carry with me to the office and out in the field. Its pictures are excellent for identification and its provided history on each breed is a great help for understanding each breeds behavior drives in training. In the front it offers a wonderful story as to how dogs as we know them came to be, and a unique look on how man domesticated the dog. This is a book that no dog trainer or dog owner should be without.

Wonderful Book

I absolutely love this book along with it's full color pictures. Gives a brief history of the breed as well as temperament, size, and anything else you might want to know before bringing home that new puppy.

Simon & Schuster's Guide to Dogs

Large book packed with color photos of hundreds of breeds of dogs. Good reference material for identifying dogs and choosing what breed fits you best.

A Good Resource for Potential Dog Owners

I bought this book about 6 years ago and it's still interesting to look at today. It is a good reference for anyone who is interested in getting a dog of a certain breed or a mix of certain breeds. It has personality traits which I found to be very helpful and it has interesting information about origins of certain species, my favorite story being of the Bernese Mountain Dog. It also has general information before breed profiles in the beginning of the book which is helpful has well. This book is reccomended to anyone who's interested in owning a dog.
