This book has good pictures and it give a fair overview of the breeds. I think it is a little short on details like genetice defects for some breeds.

I've had this book for a few years, and a lot of the imformation on the breeds, such as the kennel club recognition and key characteristics are great. The histories though seem to be disputed between the author of this book and the AKC Dog book and other authors of all-breed dog books.All in all, a pleasure to read and view the illustrations and maps of where the different breeds originated.
It's all what the title says it is.
