""This heavily illustrated directory describes canine breeds recognized by the AKC. The book is divided into the seven AKC groups, plus the Miscellaneous Class. A succinct description of each dog cites its history, temperament, practical considerations, health and ratings. A color photo shows an example of each breed in its show pose, and an adjoining photo provides a detailed head shot. Attractive and easy-to-use charts summarize the ease of care for each breed."" --Pet Product News
