Book Overview
With over 200,000 copies sold to date, everyone agrees that "the 'ultimate' in the subtitle is not an exaggeration" (Minneapolis Star Tribune). Legacy of the Dog has been established as the reference book for potential dog owners, breeders, and people who are just plain crazy for dogs. Revised and updated, with many new breeds rarely seen outside their country of origin, it is an invaluable reference. Seven standard categories are covered, with each breed shown alphabetically within, for a total of 195 breeds. Each breed's description includes a brief history, key characteristics, care and exercise requirements, and tips on training puppies. Tetsu Yamazaki's photographs are exceptional not only for their careful emphasis on the particularity of the different breeds, but also for capturing the individual spirit of each dog. A treasure trove of photography and a wealth of information, here's a book for canine owners guaranteed to be the most dog-eared one on the shelf.

If your a dog lover this is the book for you. We wore out our first copy and now we're on our second. Detailed information on all kinds of dogs as well as being beautifully illustrated. It's a book that is hard to put down...

This is a great all breed dog book. The pictures are good, there is a nice selection of breeds and the information is generally accurate, at least for the dogs I know.
Brilliant Book - Well Worth Having
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This book is one of the best of its type, Mr. Yamazaki and Mr. Kojima should be congratulated for all the work that they have put into it. The photography is excellent and the whole book is beautifully presented. I may be a little biased as l own the brown Bearded Collie pictured in the book but l think that the book really blows away other similiar books about dogs on the market. A must have if you are looking at purchasing a puppy / dog.
