    • Great Encyclopedia for Dog Lovers
This encyclopedia is excellent. It is filled with high-quality images and a lot of detail about different dog breeds. Everyone who's seen it always comments on how much they enjoy it and several people have purchased their book themselves after seeing the original one I purchased.

This is a wonderful book for those wanting to get an overview of dog breeds, and the photos are simply stunning. I love DK products because they're always very detailed and easy to use.

    • Exactly What I wanted.
This book provides clear photos and basic information on a few hundred breeds of dogs. I was worried that it would not represent enough of the breeds, perhaps only featuring one or another of the kennel clubs, but I'm glad to say that it is more than sufficient. Owners looking for a new dog may find the volume lacking in information on breed traits, but I really don't think that it's realistic to get all of that from an encyclopedia. Rather, this book excels at helping someone identify breeds, explore relationships among breeds, and such of that. There is an introduction with some neat information on dogs (their evolutionary journey, anatomy, etc.) and a concluding section on dog care (which I admittedly found unneccesary in an encyclopedia, but I won't take off for the filler pages). Also, very importantly, the index in the back is organized very well; looking up a dog breed there will find every reference to the breed listed in normal font, and the breed's main page listed in bold. This means that it is easy to find a breed by name, and also easy to find where that breed may be discussed in comparison to other breeds. Final note, this book is much larger than I thought it would be. ... show more

    • Beautiful pictures, lacking a bit of info
Beautiful book, especially because of the photos. It is lacking a bit in the info department, but you don't buy a photo book primarily for the info. We were a bit disappointed not to see much about the different "pit" breeds considering they are one of the most common in the US at pounds/rescues. (Not to mention a personal stake, because we have two of our own.) All in all this was purchased for my 14 year old dog lover daughter and she's plenty pleased with it. ... show more

This is a beautiful book. The pages are very easy to read, the facts they included are really interesting, and it didn’t overwhelm with too much information.

Granddaughter requested this for Christmas to replace her old one which had fallen apart from much use. She was very happy to get this replacement.
