I bought this book to keep with my library of books as a refrence book. I go to it often. Was $20.00 plus tax at Border Books in Mishawaka IN. Well worth the price. Will not go out of date. Love this book & would recommend it to anyone who loves dogs & wants to know about the different kinds.

Pros: Has all the dog breeds w/ pictures & information on them

Cons: None

all these books that are on the market people do need to read. this smithsonian handbook is great information. learn about the dog you have or the one you are getting.

Pros: these handbooks on dogs are good reading

Cons: na

awesome information for a first time pet owner. a coffee table must read. great book.

Pros: great for a first time pet owner

Cons: na

these are good books but do not have everything. more for just learning general things then specifics about breeds

Pros: nice book, easy to find

Cons: doesnt have every breed
