Summary: CAREFUL - DANGEROUS INFO
Comment: Another book by the same writer "The essential Dog Book" has under "Feeding Requirements" the following statement. "Very nearly every dog loves chocolate". While true it doesn't go on to say that chocolate is DANGEROUS for dogs. I just called my vet and confirmed it. NEVER feed chocolate to your dog or cat no matter how much they like it. I cannot recomend any book by a writer that has such a dangerous error in it. It makes me wonder how well they researched and checked the rest of it. I don't know if this book also has this error in it.

Summary: The Ultimate Dog Encyclopedia
Comment: This is a great book! There are great pictures of each breed, and a good amount of information, including size, grooming, exercise, etc. There are all kinds of breeds, including rare ones, and plenty info on dog care. The authors could have included more info on each breed though, and some of the pictures for each breed are sideways, so you have no idea what the face of the dog looks like. On one breed, they give you false information. The Eskimo Dog (according to the book) is a different name for the American Eskimo Dog. The book says the Eskie is a large dog weighing 59-104 lbs. and standing 20-27 in at the withers, and it can be any known dog color. The Eskie is actually a small dog that comes in white or biscuit cream only and in three sizes (toy,mini,standard) 9-19 in at the withers and 6-40 lbs. That is the only mistake I have seen in the book, though. Overall, this book is very informative and definetly worth the cost!

Summary: Excellent source for all dog lovers.
Comment: This is a very friendly book. It is bound very nicely and has an attractive cover with bright illustrations. It is large and would serve well as a "coffee table" book. The reading is easy and provides just enough information on each breed.
The first section of the book is alive with pictures of various dogs and instructions from puppy care on through the life of a dog. It is well suited for a beginning dog owner due to its thoroughness and explanations of care. It is also a good selection to help you determine which breed is right for you.
In contrast to other dog books we have seen, this one offers several photographs of most breeds. This is important. That cute puppy may grow to be one ugly dog.
Overall, this is a very nice book that has proven itself to be informative and entertaining. Most of all, our kids love it!
