Every Dog: A Book of 500 Breeds: A Book of Over 450 Breeds

All good

Easy to read & informative book. My 11 year old granddaughter hasn't but it down since Christmas day...having to wait for my turn

Good book for anyone thinking of purchasing a new dog

Good book but due to its size I guess does not have much detailed information on each breed. Also noticed some mistakes - most noticeable one in the description of a bloodhound. Look at the top right bubble description referring to its name origin and then the sentence regarding name in the middle of the main paragraph - completely contradicts itself. So will be reading the rest with a little pinch of salt and some external resources

I realised my knowledge of dogs had started lacking again and wanted to have something I can keep next to me at work (doggy day care) and it’s become very handy. Other employees even read it! Although I do find it interesting the Borador can live to 16!! I have two 12 year old boys and that made me really happy to read that. Although I wouldn’t call them a designer breed, they’re very much companion dogs like the lab

The "450 breeds" had me intrigued, as there are only 213 UK Kennel Club recognised breeds to date. I like to think I am a bit of an aficionado on dog breeds, having been raised by parents who had a big dog breeding/training/boarding/security business, but I was really surprised to find quite a number of dogs breeds I had never heard of. Each breed page shows a range of info about it as well as health and interesting history facts, which I will find it invaluable for my work of needle felting breeds of dog. You can see my work on FB, Instagram and .com as "ChicktinCreations."I can only think of one little negative and that is, although most of the breeds were shown standing and side-on, I wish all photos of the breeds were shown standing and side-on, so you could see their body shape much better for reference. Not easy to see the shape of a dog when sitting or laying down.That said, I am really pleased to have this lovely book in my reference section now and will be regularly used for my work and will be highly recommending it to others.

This is the first truly extensive dog breed book since the Macdonald Encyclopedia of Dogs was last printed in 1986. Like its predecessor the focus is on giving a comprehensive snapshot of all the main dog breeds available today rather than an in depth study of particular breeds. It's like the old "Eye Spy" books and is great fun for any would-be dog spotter. It is an American publication and the breed standards are those of the AKC, not the English Kennel Club, but that's a minor issue. The illustrations and brief stats are superb and ideal for younger readers to get hooked on identification.

Part of a Christmas present for my niece. Well illustrated and would recommend it.

Bought this as a gift for my father in law who’s looking to get a new dog but can’t decide which breed to get. It has a pretty complete list overall and lots of important information about each breed without giving so much info that it becomes overwhelming! A great book!

I bought it for my husband, received it on Friday and he hasn't put it down. He has dementia and it is the first time I've found something to keep him interested. The pictures are high quality, the pages are thick, and the information is off the charts! If you are contemplating getting a new dog, but not sure what, get this book.

I am happy with the quality of the product, it explain easily about the breeds and there are picture too.

Great book to read for any dog owner! Gives great information about your dog!

Not much to dislike as for those I researched from other sources generally agreed with the information provided. All data regarding each breed is clearly displayed - mostly on a single page. Average lifespan, adult height and weight are shown in an easily deciphered bar graph. The history of the breed and common health issues are each shown in a box format. Common colouring is also presented. Most importantly, the format remains consistent throughout the book. Pictures mostly include one of the adult as well as the puppies.
