The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Dog Breeds

This reference was put together by Joan Palmer. This is a great book if you don't really know much about dog breeds and want to get visually acquanited with some of the different breeds. There are about 200 different dogs here with a color photograph of almost each one. This book is no AKC guide, but it is fun.

There is a short history of dogs in the front. There is also a section that describes the different dog features, jowls, nose, ears, eyes...

Every time I look at this book I pick out a different couple of favorite dogs. The dogs I picked this time are the border terrier (like Jack), and the giant schnauzer.

Which ones would you pick?
