    Dog-tastic!

    My friends and all have a different favorite animal. That's the thing we connect to. That's what makes us friends. Kayla is a horse-lover, Hannah is the monkey-lover, AND I'M THE DOG-LOVER! I love dogs so much that you would be shocked! Dogs are my entire life! Even my sixth grade teacher knew it, so when she would talk about dogs or something everyone would look at me (including the teacher)! Kayla has a book called Horse Dictionary with horse breeds and I own this one for dog breeds. This book has lots of breeds in it and tells you a lot about them. If you are a huge dog lover like me, BUY THIS BOOK!

    It's Okay...

    It's a really great book (fantastic!), but it doesn't give you enough information on all the breeds. It only has 140, and there are over 200!!!!!!

    Incisive, interesting, colorful, and enlightening

    It gives very detailed descriptions of alot of dog breeds. It has helped me alot and I have gained alot of info from this book. It also gives examples that a person can relate to. It also gives charts that decsribe the grooming and exercise required and it shows if a dog is suitable or not for the city. As a dog-lover, I thought this book had wonderful insight as far as dog breeds go! It was great!
