Everything You Want to Know About Pure-Bred Dogs
True to its name, THE COMPLETE DOG BOOK instructs you on every phase of owning pure-bred dogs.
It helps you choose the right dog for you and your family, and tells you everything you need to know about registration.
It includes a picture, history and the latest official standard for each of the 129 breeds registered by the AKC—the only book authorized to include these standards. (New in this edition are the Pharaoh Hound, the Portuguese Water Dog, the Tibetan Spaniel and the Australian Cattle Dog.)
The all-new section on health and care has been prepared by the faculty of the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine and reflects the newest knowledge in that field. All-new too is the chapter on teaching your dog the basics of training.
768 pages, 64 of them in glorious full color,—the grandest edition ever of America's favorite dog book!
On the front cover:
The four stamps shown were designed by Roy Anderson, and issued by the United States Postal Service on September 7,1984, in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the American Kennel Club. This marked the first time that the Post Office has specifically honored the pure-bred dog on American stamps.-photo, Copyright © United States Postal Service, 1984. Vissza
