Reviews

[Patty · Rating 3 out of 5]

This doesn't make a great non-fiction book in the US because of the differences between the UK and US. For example the Lab in the working group rather than the sporting group.

The usual gorgeous layout by DK. Great introduction for dog lovers. Labrador Retriever is placed in the "wrong" group for Americans, but otherwise this is a fun book to skim and "aww" over.

[Harry W · Rating 5 out of 5]

5 stars because it gives really good advice about dogs and has really cute pictures.
