My son received this book as a gift many years ago when he was about 12 years old. We still keep it around as a reference book. The book is divided into two major sections - (1) Profiles - of individual breeds and (2) Practical Guide - choosing a dog and caring for it. There are over 200 breeds of dogs described in this book and each one is illustrated. For each breed, the author tells the advantages and disadvantages, size, excerise, grooming, feeding, origin and history of the breed, and requirements to show the breed. I only wish we had bought it in hardcover, as we have about worn it out !
