Canine Terminology

What a book! For anyone in the dog industry, I found this book of canine terminology fascinating. I love it! To me it's the "Dog Dictionary". As I'm fairly new to the industry this book will certainly bring me up to speed.

Canine knowledge

If you can have only one book on canine terminology and structure, this is it. Thorough, interesting and well illustrated. It will help anyone understand breed standards and breeders' "dog talk".
