Book Description
Updated with the latest information on canine breeds recognized by the American Kennel Club, this lavishly illustrated volume is a treasure house of information for dog lovers, owners, breeders, and prospective buyers. It begins with a detailed discussion of breed evolution, focusing on the physical and behavioral traits that distinguish one canine breed from another. The book's main section profiles more than 150 breeds, arranged in the general categories specified by the AKC—Sporting Group, Hound Group, Working Group, Terrier Group, Toy Group, Non-Sporting Group, and Herding Group. Each profile tells how and why the breed was developed, and how selection to perpetuate specific traits affects a dog's suitability as a pet. Advice for prospective dog owners will help them be sure they are choosing a breed that is compatible with their own situation and needs. They will also find information on each breed's vulnerability to specific health problems, longevity, exercise needs, compatibility with children, and much more. Profuse illustrations include color photos of all listed breeds.

Awesome.......2007-09-10
one of the best dog books out there, and believe me i've read quite a few. i think what i liked best was that each dog breed was given a review on a number of different qualities. 5 stars being the highest. they were judged on energy, "hair care", friendliness towards people and other animals, among many other things. being a dog lover and avid dog guide book reader, i thought i knew just about all there was to the different dog breeds, but this book proved me wrong. i learned more about dogs in this book than i've read in 25 other dog breed books.
A Good General Overview .......2007-08-16
A good reference book for various dog breeds. Obviously, it does not go into great detail about all of the breeds BUT it does provide a good overview of the various breeds in question. If you are buying it to obtain information about a specific breed, then this is NOT the book that you need. A breed specific book would be much better. If, on the other hand, you want a good starting point for the various dog breeds, then this is the book for you. Provides ideal information if you are thinking of buying a dog but don't know what breed to get.
Dogs of the world book.......2007-07-07
This is an excellent book outlining the types of dogs in the world. It presents the types and characteristics of all the common dogs that currently inhabit our planet using good descriptions and photos. An outstanding book for its purpose.
Great Value!.......2007-06-17
I paid $20 for this book and it has been well worth it. The pictures are great and serves as a great reference. It's sure to grab your guests' attention also as the pictures and information are well placed.
Excellent Book!.......2007-06-02
The book is easy to read and has great pictures. It gives a great overview and quickly learn and understand about the breeds. I like the chart it gives about grooming, exciteablity, exercise needs, etc. Very useful and very pleased!
Amazon.com
There's the Scottish Terrier ("an earth dog used in hunting the fox and the brocke"), the Boston Terrier ("a lively, highly intelligent, smooth coated, short-headed, compactly built, short- tailed, well balanced dog"), or the Great Dane ("one of the most elegant and distinguished varieties of giant-type dog"). In fact, there are 146 AKC-recognized breeds profiled within the pages of the Complete Dog Book, and the pictures and text provide great bowser browsing. The breed descriptions help you choose among the hounds, terriers, toys, and working breeds, the herders, guard dogs, and sporting breeds. Measurements help determine which dogs will best fit your abode (Chesapeake Bay Retrievers measure 21 to 26 inches high at the shoulder, Chinese Cresteds are a mere 11 to 13 inches off the ground, while the Irish Wolfhound stands 30 to 32 inches tall), breed temperaments help you choose your ideal pet, and show criteria help you know what you're looking for when you actually start to shop for a pup. In the meantime, there are interesting stories about breed origins, and a useful glossary of dog terms, while the chapters on grooming, training, and Canine Health and First Aid will come in handy once you've brought your new dog home. --Stephanie Gold

for serious dog professionals or amateurs wanting more.......2007-05-15
A good and complete dog reference. Pet owners will love a cruise through all the potential breeds to love and those seriously taking in dog shows will enjoy a complete reference.
AKC bible.......2007-03-29
This is the official publication of The American Kennel Club(AKC)so it stands to reason that it is quite elaborate and authorative; afterall, this is the 20th edition.If you want specific information about all the different breeds than this book is for you. Naturally the book only recognizes the breeds that are AKC and believe me, there are many others out there but yet to be officially recognized. For breeders, the information is valuable as all the official chacteristics and faults are mentioned for each part of the body. For general pets of a specific breed, and not show dogs the information is equally as valuable . For prospective buyers of a specific breed this book will help you to make sure the dog you get get doesn't have any serious faults of the breed characteristics. Overall this book is quite useful for anyone who owns a dog . Dog lovers will enjoy the book for general browsing to learn all about the other breeds. This is a great reference tool to have when viewing the different dog shows. I found the historical information rather fascinating. It is fun to learn about the different breeds since many are rarely seen in the general population. If you love dogs you will love this book.
A Pet Groomers Must-Have.......2007-01-27
The AKC Complete Dog Book has been the singlemost valuable reference that I have used in 36 years of pet grooming. It has provided a solid foundation of how each breed is supposed to look, as well as the breed standard on which that appearance is based. It is the first book I reach for when learning or teaching grooming of a new breed. It also serves as a way to show pet owners an example of how their breed is presented on which we can base modifications for their individual pet. I would not groom without this book!
New cover, (almost) same contents........2007-01-25
Don't get me wrong, this book has ALOT of in-depth information about your favorite AKC breeds, but they could have atleast changed the pictures of the breeds through the book....they left the same ones they have been using forever (most everyone I could see) the only difference between this book and the previous edition is the addition of a few breeds recently accepted and different color pictures of the breeds in the special pages in the middle of the book. It's a good book, I'm not sorry that I bought it, but come on....be a little more diverse if you are going to print another adition...get creative!
The Complete Dog Book:20th Edition.......2007-01-16

Book Description
Dog Language tells us why dogs do what they do and how we can express ourselves so that our dogs can understand us better. It is a systematic book, ordered alphabetically with 293 entries and 94 beautiful drawings illustrating over 150 different dog expressions.
First published in Scandinavia in 1986 as Hundesprog', this book became a great success and has since then helped many thousands of dog owners, instructors, behavior students, and veterinarians to understand dogs. Now available in English, the present edition of Dog Language is an updated, highly revised and enlarged version of the original Hundesprog'.
Following the traditions of the school of ethology founded by Konrad Lorenz, Dog Language is based on many hours of research, observation, and study. Dog Language is a no-nonsense book, written in a modern, uncomplicated style—a book for all readers with interest in dogs, wolves and other canids.
`Dog Language is a book that will benefit anyone interested in what makes our dogs tick. It is a must for the professional dog handler or behaviorist, as well as any pet owner. Dog Language is well organized and written in a clear, easily understood manner. The beautiful illustrations help to explain what our canine companions are trying to communicate to us and each other. This is a rare opportunity to tap into the talent and expertise of a well known canine ethologist.' Sandy Myers (President of Narnia Pet Behavior, member of the APDT and NADOI)
`If we are to understand the domestic dog's natural behavior, we must appreciate his social heritage and the adaptive significance of his many complex behavior patterns. Roger Abrantes' book Dog Language provides this knowledge, and presents it in an easy to use and understand format. This encyclopedia of canine behavior is absolutely a must for all serious students of canine behavior and training!' Linda P. Case (Lecturer in Companion Animal Science, University of Illinois, Dept. of Animal Science)

Canine behavior encyclopedia.......2007-08-24
A highly technical, behaviorist slanted, wordy A-Z book of behaviors. A dull read which necessitates extraction for application in dog training. Not exactly what I thought it would be - but none the less a good reference book.
Not Satisfied.......2007-08-20
This was not at all what I thought it would be based on the description, etc. on Amazon and I was very disappointed.
Lanny North.......2007-05-07
Excellent book for all two-leggeds. The format is encylopedic, but what seems intuitively to be a fault is really a plus. The book has become close to number one on my shelf of books directed at learning dog. Short of growing a tail, this book will yield rewards in enriched relationships with the four-leggeds.
Great for Fostering.......2007-01-25
We are now fostering and I was curious what the dog was telling us. This is an excellent book on letting you figure out what the heck your saying.
Dog Language: An Encyclopedia of Canine Behavior.......2007-01-12
A welcome addition to over forty books in my canine reference library.I found "Dog Language" to be a handy reference in encyclopedic format listing terms and definitions used in the study of canine ethology. Especially useful is the list of canine behavior references located in the bibliography. The cross-reference line following each entry provides extra information. As a people trainer, I found it useful for defining the buzzwords of dogspeak needed to convey concepts to dog owners. Human to Canine communication is the key element to success in training. Dog Language helps to explain the messages the dog sends us. As an active trainer of working German Shepherd Dogs, I believe this book has enhanced my ability to "read" dogs.

Customer Reviews:
not much information for the money.......2006-04-23
I thought that this was an Encyclopedia but it was more just general information that anyone that has seen the dog would know, a big waste of money
disjointed and incomplete.......2005-08-10
I found the section on breeds to be informative with nice pictures. The section on care and illness was severely lacking: on one page, the text just ended with no punctuation and did not continue to the next page. To find out how to take a dog's temperature was very clear, but I had to search the index to find out what that temp should be. There were instances that in case of an illness or infection, no real guides as to what the owner could do until the dog could see a vet. Just not very helpful to me at all.
The Ultimate Encyclopedia of Dogs 2004.......2005-01-11
We enjoyed your book and found it had excellent graphics, however there were a few concerns. On pg 83, it states when suffering from heat exhaustion to "bath the dog with cold water and especially drench its head" if one were to do this it would send the animal into an immediate state of cardiac arrest in shock, a condition that no owner is equiped to deal with. I think that any veterinarian would agree, the best course of action would be to slowly cool the animal with tepid water and seek immediate emergency help. As well there is a section stating how much dogs like to eat chocolate but there is no mention to the fact of it being extremely toxic. On the plus side it is nice to see that you recommended that any injured dog should be muzzled as it may bite (something that the owner may not know).
A good dog book.......2003-11-26
I got this book last weekend. I can't say I have read it cover to cover, but I have taken a good look at it.
I like it!! ...I wont say the information inside it is very precise, especially concerning breed temperament, but the pictures are wonderful and give an excellent idea of what the dog will look like in real life.
It is not a heavy book, and the language is very easy to read, so I also think its a good option for kids who are beyond the picture books and want a bit more information... without over saturating them!!
CAREFUL - DANGEROUS INFO.......2003-09-03
Another book by the same writer "The essential Dog Book" has under "Feeding Requirements" the following statement. "Very nearly every dog loves chocolate". While true it doesn't go on to say that chocolate is DANGEROUS for dogs. I just called my vet and confirmed it. NEVER feed chocolate to your dog or cat no matter how much they like it. I cannot recomend any book by a writer that has such a dangerous error in it. It makes me wonder how well they researched and checked the rest of it. I don't know if this book also has this error in it.

I was hoping for more.......2002-04-22
While this book had many photos of different breeds, I was surprised at the omissions. I had hoped to see a Fila Brasilero, Havanese, Dogue de Bordeaux and a Neapolitan Mastiff. The Coonhounds, both the red and black and tan were also missing. There was no mention of the American Eskimo dog. The picture of the Rhodesian Ridgeback did not show the ridge that they are so famous for. The information about the dogs contradicted other books and my own experience. I was disappointed in this book.
Pretty Good..........2002-04-18
I've had this book for a few years, and a lot of the imformation on the breeds, such as the kennel club recognition and key characteristics are great. The histories though seem to be disputed between the author of this book and the AKC Dog book and other authors of all-breed dog books.
All in all, a pleasure to read and view the illustrations and maps of where the different breeds originated.
Great Book, beautiful pictures.......2001-03-23
I thought this book was a good book. It gave a lot of info, though it could have given more. Lots of the pictures were good pictures, but the picture of the King Charles Spaniel for instance made it look bad, the fur was all ruffed up and it was hunched up, it just didn't look good! most of the pictures and information was pretty good. I would recomend this book for people that are interested in dogs, and information about different kinds of dogs. Just one more thing.... it doesn't give pictures of all the dogs, there are a couple that just have names and info, no picture but i would say 97% of them had pictures, so ya, i would buy this book!

The Most Breeds Ever.......2006-05-04
I love this book! It has PERFECTLY CORRECT information, and has over 3,000 breeds! From this book I figured out that my dog-what I thought was a plain mutt, then a 'miniature German shepherd dog', then a shepherd/Kelpie mix. Now I really know what my dog is: a Plains-Indian dog. This book has lots of sections, including Sighthounds (ex. Large Portuguese Podengo), Scenthounds, (ex. Limer) Short-legged Scenthounds, (ex. Kibble Hound) Flushing dogs (Russian Spaniel), Earth dogs (Shropshire terrier), Treeing dogs (American Blue Gascon Hound), Setting dogs (Llanidloes setter), Pointing dogs (German broken-coated pointer), Decoy dogs (Tumbler), Retrieving dogs (English Water Spaniel), General hunting dogs (Medelan), Fighting dogs (Cordoba Dog), Livestock guards (Dalbo dog), Sheepherders (Marled Collie), cattle herders (Smithfield Collie), deer herders (Cockhill's Finnish lapphund), llama herders (Inca dog), fish herders Fugian dog), household companion dogs (White Collie), household working dogs (Water Drawer), edible dogs (Izcuintlipotzolti) , hair dogs (Naga dog), property guards (Lyme mastiff), barge dogs (Keeshond), rescue dogs (St. Bernard), sled dogs (Aurora Husky), travois dogs (Plains-Indian dog), cart dogs (Belgian mastiff), carriage dogs (Dalmatian), truffle dogs (Truffle dog), wolf/dog hybrids (American Tundra Shepherd), feral dogs (Mongrel), obscure dogs (Sheltie-poo), and wild dogs (Golden Jackal). I give this book a five!
prepare for a long wait.......2005-10-28
I ordered this book on August 9th, 2005 for a Sept. birthday present... and as of October 27th, had to sign off again on a delayed delivery, now for early December. If you want this one for Christmas (not holding my breath!), you may want to buy it from somebody else.
UPDATE : As of Nov. 20th with given another delay notice for a ship date the end of Dec. now... I cancelled this order & will buy it elsewhere. I suggest you do the same as this book seems to be only available thru the used-book market now.
GREAT IDEA, POORLY EXECUTED.......2003-11-26
Desmond Morris had a great idea: produce a comprehensive encyclopedia of all known breeds, with brief descriptions and drawings instead of photos, to keep the size and cost down. Unfortunately, the result is disappointing. First, don't get excited about the "over 1000" breeds, more than twice any other similar book. Morris lists many extinct breeds, which, while interesting, make comparison to similar books misleading. Also, he lists as separate, variations of single breeds. For example, he has 14 different greyhounds! Who knew Sudan had 3 different greyhound breeds. Secondly, many of the descriptions have numerous errors...pick the breeds you're most familiar with, and you'll see. Third, the drawings are horrid. I would not have recognized some breeds that I am extremely familiar with from the drawings.
I do like his functional classification scheme. Including "edible dogs" was interesting. And it was refreshing to see a "fighting dog" category. But ultimately, the effort fails.
Wilcox and Walkowicz's Atlas of Dog Breeds of the World remains the best all breed encyclopedia.
The Most Comprehensive -- and Accurate -- Dictionary.......2003-05-10
Dog breed books must be a big seller -- look at all of them that are published. Rare breeds are particularly of interest to people who are looking for alternatives to what they feel are "overbred" commonly seen registered breeds. However, articles and information on such breeds are usually limited to personal accounts and sometimes questionable histories.
Desmond Morris does what no other encyclopedia or atlas of dogs has done. He has managed to give accurate accounts of some very rare dog breeds. Admirably, with recognized breeds, he has not fallen into the trap of relying on any one western/European dog club's or individual's perceptions. For example, in the case of Turkish native dog breeds he has found and cited credible Turkish sources. No small task!
The format of the book is something else I appreciate - it isn't oversized, probably because it has not included photos of the breeds (it does have line drawings).
If I had but one wish for this book - it would be to somehow include photos. But then the very reasonable price would have to be increased -- along with its current 752 pages!
An excellent read for people looking for information without a bias done by a world-renowned writer.
Book Description
With over 200,000 copies sold to date, everyone agrees that "the 'ultimate' in the subtitle is not an exaggeration" (Minneapolis Star Tribune). Legacy of the Dog has been established as the reference book for potential dog owners, breeders, and people who are just plain crazy for dogs. Revised and updated, with many new breeds rarely seen outside their country of origin, it is an invaluable reference. Seven standard categories are covered, with each breed shown alphabetically within, for a total of 195 breeds. Each breed's description includes a brief history, key characteristics, care and exercise requirements, and tips on training puppies. Tetsu Yamazaki's photographs are exceptional not only for their careful emphasis on the particularity of the different breeds, but also for capturing the individual spirit of each dog. A treasure trove of photography and a wealth of information, here's a book for canine owners guaranteed to be the most dog-eared one on the shelf.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent revision.......2007-01-03
This is a great all breed dog book. The pictures are good, there is a nice selection of breeds and the information is generally accurate, at least for the dogs I know.
Brilliant Book - Well Worth Having.......2006-03-11
This book is one of the best of its type, Mr. Yamazaki and Mr. Kojima should be congratulated for all the work that they have put into it. The photography is excellent and the whole book is beautifully presented. I may be a little biased as l own the brown Bearded Collie pictured in the book but l think that the book really blows away other similiar books about dogs on the market. A must have if you are looking at purchasing a puppy / dog.

The Greatest and Most Helpful Dog Book ever!.......2003-12-26
This books shows how much the writer knows about dogs! She must be an extremely smart person to know so much about dogs! I am truly impressed! However, I know how some people say that there were a ton of mistakes in this book that I personally would never ever notice unless someone were to tell me. I just can't believe how much some people loathe minor mistakes in such fantastic books. But, in my opinion, this is the most helpful dog book ever! Who cares about a few mistakes that are hard to notice! I am extremely exurberent and can notice a lot of tiny things, but have never noticed any mistakes in this grand book! This does not mean that the writer is not smart. Who would ever say something as stupid as that!
Pretty bad.......2003-07-18
I was extremely disappointed after reading this book. At least I didn't buy it, though. I seriously think that the author/s know very little about dogs. There were numerous spelling errors, which don't bother many people, but it does bother me. For instance, 'Bergamasco' was spelled 'Bergamsco' which is a bit unprofessional if you ask me. Another thing that I was *shocked* to see was that they made the mistake of calling a rough collie a 'Long-haired border collie', which is a pretty hard mistake to make if you know anything about dogs. After seeing that, I shut the book immediately and just assumed that the author had no idea what she was doing when she wrote a book about dogs. To sum it all up, I was disgusted with this book.
The Dog Encyclopedia... A review from me to you.......2003-07-07
I recently purchased the dog encyclopedia. When I began to read through the pages, I noticed that it contained many more dog breeds than any other Dog Encyclopedia that I currently own or have ever looked at. Many other dog encyclopedias only contain dog breeds that are currently in the AKC. This book has many more breeds then those just in the AKC. I was impressed by the number of breeds. There were a few drawbacks from this encyclopedia. One was that the pictures werent of a very high quality. That might not matter to some readers, but kids like me enjoy looking at the pictures. I thought the dogs could have been photographed with a better camera. Some of the photos appeared fuzzy and unfocused. I also noticed that I got bored while reading about each breed. The book does a very good job informing people on different breeds, but it is strictly information. DONT PUCRHASE THIS BOOK IF YOU DONT WANT TO LEARN ABOUT DOGS!! cause that is all you will get out of it. Otherwise, I enjoyed this book, seeing as my purpose was to learn about dogs. I give this book 4 stars and reccommend it to people interested about dogs and the many breeds.:)
Good list of breeds - but dry reading.......2001-11-06
We have had the book since July 2001 ... its reasonably informative but lacks in the `keeping the reader interested' department.
Physically, the book is well bound with reasonable paper quality.
The author's stated intention was to produce a book, which assists readers in the selection of suitable dogs, and the book is adequate as such. It lists a fairly large number of breeds, including some breeds not recognised by the AKC. Each breed is described generally, with details on temperament, training and exercise requirements.
Although the book achieves its primary purpose, it does so in a rather pedantic manner, making for dry reading. The layout and language comes across as rigid and repetitive. Some of the colour printing lacks sharpness and falls short of many other breed books. Certainly many of the photographs could have been better taken, and some breeds better represented in visual form. One is left with the feeling that many photographs were inserted as an afterthought, rather than as part of an overall design.
While one ought not to select a dog simply because of its looks - good images, well presented in a breed book will always be appreciated. Also, for some reason, the average life spans of the breeds are not provided.
The book's strength comes from (a) its convenient size, and (b) the fact that it includes several breeds more commonly found in Europe, which do not commonly appear in other breed books (for example: Central & Eastern European Hounds & Herding breeds).
But otherwise, there are more lively and well-designed breed books around.
Closer to 3 and a half stars than 4 stars ...
The Dog Encyclopedia.......2000-05-16
