Dog Breeds

Dogs and humans have a special bond that is now thousands of years old. In the past, dogs were usually working animals rather than house pets - they helped us with all sorts of important jobs such as hunting, fishing, herding, bullfighting, guarding property and retrieving. Some smaller dogs were even said to be kept in ladies' sleeves to keep them warm! Today, many of the breeds which were bred for specific purposes are now simply house pets. However, lots of these dogs have retained their original instincts and will enjoy indulging in any behaviour which harks back to their original breed's purpose. This book features some of the most popular breeds with some useful information to help you decide which one is the breed for you. As well as this, it contains everything you need to know about looking after your dog in the coming years. It's our most comprehensive book to date!
