Synopsis

From the noble Afghan to indigenous village dogs, this vibrant illustrated gallery offers fascinating information on more than 600 dog breeds, from the author and illustrator of Doggie Language and Kitty Language.

Meet more than 600 types of dogs in this captivating canine gallery, from the English Springer Spaniel and Moroccan Aïdi to the Thai Ridgeback and the New Guinea Singing Dog. Packed with fascinating tidbits and hundreds of illustrations, Dogs of the World also shines a welcome spotlight on the world’s 85 percent of dogs who are no breed at all, including mutts and village dogs.

You’ll learn about different dog types and their working roles, such as herding, livestock guarding, scent detection, dog sports, and companionship, and understand what terms like purebred and landrace mean. Trace the history of our modern dogs through a vibrantly visual timeline, and pick up insights on breed health risks, personality traits, and how breed ancestry DNA tests work.

Featuring adorable artwork and research vetted by dog history experts, behavior professionals, and veterinarians, this is a loving and accessible guide to the diversity of our canine companions.
