Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Every Dog: A Book of Over 450 Breeds packs in a lot of information. Illustrations, text, charts, tables and icons make it an ideal reference for dog lovers, who will enjoy flipping through the pages. The breeds are thoroughly researched and represent canines from around the world. There are ancient breeds and modern breeds, including the 'designer dogs' that have become so popular in recent years.

For example, Spitz-Type Dogs typically have thick and dense fur, pointed ears and muzzles, and puffy tails that curl up and over their rears. They descend from ancient breeds that came from Arctic regions, although today's spitz dogs were developed all over the world. Spitz dogs include the Akita, Canaan, American Eskimo, and the Pomeranian. Each breed is described on one page and features these details: * English and any alternative names, place of origin and year of first known introduction; * Icons and keys indicating all available coat colours; exercise requirements; graph indicating average weight, height and life expectancies; * At a Glance chart rating Intelligence; Ease of training; Affection; Playfulness; Good guard dogs; Good with children; Good with other dogs; and Grooming required; * Descriptive text and a brief history of the breed; * Two colour photographs, of one adult and one puppy. Every Dog: A Book of Over 450 Breeds is a fabulous reference.
