From the front flap of this 752-page book: "'The Illustrated Directory of Dogs' is a complete roundup of the world of man's best friend. This book features an extensive range of dogs listed by the American Kennel Club, including several rare and intriguing breeds. The book is designed alphabetically, and is lavishly illustrated with a wealth of stunning photographs. Specialist canine photographer, Carol Ann Johnson, has taken many of these, while other images have come directly from breeders themselves. Author Juliette Cunliffe draws on her extensive experience as a canine writer to present an in-depth profile of each breed. The physical characteristics of each dog are discussed in detail (including their height, weight, and general appearance), together with an outline of the origins and history of the breed, any relevant health issues, and the exercise and grooming required by each animal. A reference box with each entry enables the reader to review features that are of particular interest, and quickly assess the suitability of each dog as a canine companion. [This book] is a visual feast for any dog lover, is packed with fascinating information about the canine world. It is the ultimate reference guide to dogs of all shapes and sizes."
