Customer Review: Best Overview of Breeds
We bought this book a long time ago before we bought our dog and gave it to a family member when he was shopping for a dog breed. When we found ourselves looking for a dog again I looked at a variety of similar books but they just didn't cut it. I ended up buying this book AGAIN! A great book for those looking for the right companion dog for their family -- it overviews ease of training, energy level, temperment with children and much more. I highly recommend this book.
