"I absolutely love this book. I constantly am lookin ghtrough it and reading about all my favorite dog breeds. It has: history, upkeep, breed standards and more in it, a must have for dog lovers."
"I find this book to be the best dog breed encyclopedia out there. Just enough information on each breed to be thought provoking, but not so much as to become tedious. This book offers a fair assessment of the personality traits of each breed, as well -- it doesn't sugar-coat every breed, but rather tells you the pros and cons of each type of dog. If you are thinking of adding a dog to your life, check out this book."
"This book is full of information for those considering a new dog or just wanting to learn more about their dog. Basically, I wanted to determine which breed of dog would work best with my lifestyle and preferences. This book helped me narrow down my choices and eliminate some breeds I thought I wanted (based on cuteness) because they wouldn't necessarily be the best fit for me. The book has descriptions, as well as pictures and charts, that explain the temperament, characteristics, history, and features of each breed. The charts make it easy to compare breeds. I've read some Amazon reviews of this book, and many of them comment on how accurate the information is. Best of all, the information is presented in a format that is easily understandable by those of us who aren't as familiar with breeding, showing, AKC regulations, etc."
