Fine  by angela render (Poquoson , VA USA) 5 Stars

I bought this several years ago knowing my husband wanted a dog. He constantly was reviewing the breeds. We now have a 2 1/2 PWD and we still refer to it when we want to know more about a breed. Good addition to a library if you like dogs.

DOGS The book I have decided to read is the book called DOGS. The author of this book is David Alderson. This book caught my eye when I was looking for a book to read for my English class. I was very entertained by this book. I thought this book was great because it list and explains a variety of dogs. This book by David Alderson is also a great recourse book for any projects needed. And it is ranked the most accessible recognition guide. It also list and shows how to keep your dogs teeth clean, hair and paws clean as a whistle It is also a great book if you are looking to buy a dog. This book list dogs such as German shepherds, miniature dolt shuns and much more. It also lists about the dog's names where they came from, where they originated and what they were used for. This book was great to read and very interesting. This book is very entertaining and i am shore it will be to you. He is a great Author and I hope he comes out wit more books about this one.

Awesome for anyone interested in dogs!  5 Stars

My friend has a copy of this book that is almost the same, but shorter and fatter. I was jealous and bought this book, but found this one was way better, beacuse hers doesn't have as much information or dogs! This book tells almost everything you need to know on all the breeds of dogs. If you are a dog lover, buy this book!
