The Complete Dog Book: A Comprehensive, Practical Care and Training Manual and a Definitive Encyclopedia of World Breeds

As with I think most people, I looked at this book more for the lovely pictures of dogs than for specific information about dog breeds or the care and feeding of dogs. This is a good enough book for dog lovers, but it doesn't really stand out from the wall; there are many books very much like this which can be found in the bargain book piles of Barnes and Noble, etc.

This book is over sixty years old now, and I do not recommend it as much more than a potential training manual. While some advice might still hold up, reading this without double-checking information can call for a bad time.
