What is the best general dog breed book, with color photos, descriptions,
AKC standards, characteristics, etc. of the maximum number of breeds?
Thanks for any info that can be provided. Sanford

Well I spend several weeks reading dog breed books to create a informationon
each dog breed in a nutshell
http://www.thejewelrydog.com/breedinfo/index.htm Of all the books I looked
through, the best was "Encyclopedia of Dog Breeds" by D. Caroline Coile,
Ph.D. This has lots of really good dog information for each breed. But
the book that has the most information on dogs in general plus lots of rare
breeds such as the Istrian Rough-Coated Hound. Is "The new Encyclopedia of
the DOG" by Bruce Fogle DVM. This one has more dog breeds, and more
pictures but less information about each dog.
