What Customers Say About The New Encyclopedia of the Dog:

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.

It is well worth the money. This book on Dogs covered dogs that I had never heard of and all the dogs that I am familiar with in the US.

I enjoy reading it and get so many useful information for my dogs too. Not only are the pictures beautiful,but also very interesting context.

Chapter Two: Dog's influence on humans. I want to emphasize the pictures because they have at least two pictures per breed. Chapter One: Historical Development of the Dog. This is what sells the book. I think it is hard to find a good dog encyclopedia.

If you were to ask my opinion on the book I would say if you aren't trying to get a lot of information on a specific breed or a lot of information on a certain subject than buy it. Now that you have the general information on the book, I wanted to clarify that in the Domestic Dog Breeds section it is not deeply descriptive on each specific breed. It has 375 breeds with excellent pictures. It contains dog safety, health, feeding, nutrition, grooming, traveling, boarding, behavior, and equipment. Chapter Four: A Dog's Lifecycle. Chapter Six: Caring for your Dog. This chapter contains information for those interested in dogs design, structure, and movement. The book also has a good amount of the more uncommon dog breeds.

That is why I would like to share some information this book contains. In on case the German Sheppard has 11 pictures. From what I was expecting I would rate it a 10. Chapter Three: A Dog's Biology. Chapter Five: Domestic Dog Breeds.

Would recommend for anyone who loves/likes dogs/animals , has children , has lots of friends who visit & need a "start-up" conversation , a visitor's "MUST" , surprising impact book. Great "coffee table" book , everyone who comes over to my house HAS to pick up this book & peruse through it.ALL making comments ,men & women alike , they LOVE the pictures , facts , etc.
