AKC Lovers, This is the Book You Need!

If you show dogs or want to own a dog, don't be mistaken that nobody likes this book, even though the price is under ten cents! It is worth a lot more. Great show photos and photos, info on where it's suited, personality, appearance, health problems, care, puppies, comments, and reccomendations for the breed section, and a section on selecting a dog, care, and a glossary make this book right up there! I like the pictures and it is very organized, although it only has AKC recognized breeds. It is out of date, to-the Border Collie, Australain Shepherd, American Eskimo and Coonhounds are all the UKC breeds! It is great when choosing the right dog.

very good pros and cons of individual breeds.

i bought this book when i really couldn't afford it. that's how good i thought it was. the best info is on the pros and cons of each breed including health problems which a lot of breed specific books do not mention.
