The Howell Book of Dogs

Liz Palika

Description

The Howell Book of Dogs is a hardcover, four-color book that will serve as a timeless and authoritative reference for dog owners and those who are considering getting a dog. Approximately 300 breeds and varieties are covered, encompassing AKC breeds, UKC breeds, and many rare breeds, such as the Eurasier, Jagd Terrier, Mi Ki, and Thai Ridgeback. One or more color photos of each breed will supplement text that describes the breed’s origins, physical characteristics, and personality traits. In addition, the book includes an informative section about dog care and training, making it the only reference book dog owners will ever need.

Acknowledgments
A book such is this is never the work of only one person; that’s almost impossible. Many people shared the vision and enthusiasm for this project and all of them deserve credit. Therefore, I would like to thank many of the people who contributed to this book.
First and foremost, my good friends Sheri and Buddy Wachtstetter deserve a huge round of applause. Both are wonderful photographers and contributed photos to the book. But most of all, as photo editors for the book, they organized the photos as they came in, screened them as to quality, cropped when necessary, and did all those other things that photo editors do. I could not have done this book without both Sheri and Buddy. Thank you!
