About the Author

The AKC sponsors more than 22,000 sanctioned events each year for purebred and mixed-breed dogs, including dog shows, agility and obedience trials, hunting and field competitions, and more. Special programs dedicated to training dogs, including the AKC Canine Good Citizen program and the S.T.A.R. Puppy program, help dogs to become well-behaved companions for their responsible, caring owners. Additionally, the AKC dedicates itself to promoting responsible ownership and advancing canine health and well-being for all dogs (www.akc.org).

Reviews

09/15/2017 In print since 1929, this 900-plus page resource, produced by the American Kennel Club with assistance from members of the national breed clubs, covers the official standards for more than 200 breeds. Broader overviews aimed at potential owners discuss size, activity level, and temperament. Along with multiple color photographs and exacting technical standards for every breed, humor crops up from time to time (for the Dogo Argentino, "Keep a lint roller handy"; for the Norrbottenspets, "No squirrel will pass by unannounced"). New to this edition is a helpful chapter with "Green Light" and "Red Flag" tips for finding a responsible breeder. Most entries have contact information for dog breeders. VERDICT No need to discard the 21st edition, but consider updating collections with this latest iteration. Library Journal--Library Journal
