I absolutely love this book. I constantly am lookin ghtrough it and reading about all my favorite dog breeds. It has: history, upkeep, breed standards and more in it, a must have for dog lovers.

OMG! THIS BOOK ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think it was a wonderful book.
IT WAS VERY GOOD I LIKED IT
