order The International Encyclopedia of Dogs by Anne Rogers Clark (Editor), Andrew H. Brace (Editor), Rene Sporre-Willes (Photographer)
Edited by two experts on dogs, this work has articles contributed by scholars, veterinarians, judges, and writers from the U.S., Canada, Great Britain, and continental Europe. More than 300 breeds recognized by the American or Canadian Kennel Clubs, the Federation Cynologique International, or the Kennel Club of Great Britain are included. Introductory material covers selecting a dog, health and general care and feeding, breeding, development and training, and competition. This is followed by the breed entries containing information on origin and development, temperament, health, special care and training, adaptability, and standards. A beautiful color photograph accompanies each entry. The more popular breeds, such as afghans, border collies, and dachshunds, receive longer entries than less well known dogs such as the Posavski Gonic. A glossary provides definitions of such terms as stand-off coat or pigeon chest. The bibliography cites 44 works on dogs. Hardcover (October 1995) IDG Books Worldwide

This book combines a beautiful coffee table type book with a ready breed reference and buyer's guide. Each breed is represented by two color photos (many of some of the top dogs in the country) and an artist's rendition of the illustrated standard. For each breed entry, headings include History, Temperament, Upkeep, Health, and Form & Function. An "At a Glance" box ranks each breed for many traits including energy level, exercise requirements, playfulness, affection level, friendliness toward dogs, other pets, or strangers, ease of training, watchdog or protection ability, grooming requirements, and heat or cold tolerance. Special attention has been paid to hereditary health problems of every breed, and appendices include definitions of medical conditions and breed rankings of some common hereditary problems. A glossary of canine terms and illustrations of canine anatomy are also included. Every breed entry has been extensively reviewed by breed specialists.
