A fantastic overview of all the different dog breeds in various regions of the world. The drawings which take up a major portion of the book give an idea of how each breed generally looks like, with some basic information given about them. I was in two minds about these drawings as they are rather cartoony with a limited color range but this may help in simplifying and identifying the differences.

Dog-lovers will want this book!

Very cute illustrations. Informative and fairly honest about the culture of dog breeding. This is ideal for readers who like dog breeding and dog shows - I didn't find it as fun or cute as a general dog (and mutt) lover. I would have preferred the book to lean either toward a sillier tone (which would match the illustrations better) or a more justice-based effort toward animal rights. Instead, the book includes some sad information about the treatment of dogs, plus a celebration of humans recreating lost breeds through intensive breeding. The historical information was fascinating.

A book all about dogs! It talks about the history of dogs, personalities/behaviors, different categories, etc. before diving into so. many. breeds! (in a good way).

I loved this!! It was so cute! I LOVE the illustrations too. I definitely would (and probably will!) buy this for my nieces and nephews. It would be a fun night time book because you could flip through a couple pages of dog breeds and then pause. Definitely a great book for any dog lover!

I received my copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Her deep affection for dogs is evident in every detail, making each page a joy to explore. The book goes beyond its stunning visuals, delivering intriguing facts and fascinating insights about dogs’ histories, roles, and origins.

At first, I found myself wondering if photos might have better showcased the dogs’ unique qualities, but Chin’s artwork quickly won me over. By the time I reached the first few pages, her delightful drawings felt like the perfect choice—they’re as unique and endearing as the dogs themselves.

The book doesn’t just focus on popular breeds; it ventures into lesser-known dogs, regional variations, and even wild canines, offering something new for even the most devoted dog enthusiasts. Did you know the first cloned dog was an Afghan Hound named Snuppy in 2005? This fun tidbit and countless others make the book as informative as it is enjoyable.

I won’t lie. For the first few pages of this book, I wished the pictures of the dogs were photos rather than drawings. If the same feeling happens to you, I suggest you stick with this, as in time, the drawings really grew on me. I LOVED THEM!!

The author takes us through the history of puppers, various breeds, defining a breed, dog types and roles and then – we go through what seems like every dog in the world. Country by country, region by region. Even including street, village and wild dogs. Each accompanied by a delightful drawing.

I couldn’t leave this review without mentioning the first dog ever to be cloned was an Afghan Hound called Snuppy in 2005. He lived a normal life for ten years. I’d never heard of Snuppy,

If you love dogs, you might just enjoy this. I have no doubt you’ll learn something about our best friends too.

A delightful and informative book.

This is an easy and fun book for dog lovers of all ages! There is so much great information in here plus the illustrations are adorable.

Thank you NetGalley,
I loved this book. It will be a fun book for people of all ages. I learned so much about different types of dogs. As someone who thought they knew a lot of dog breeds I was wrong. So many different breeds from all over. I loved the illustrations of the different types of dogs and the description. It was like Dogs 101 but in an easy to follow book.

I love this book and I can’t wait to buy a physical copy! The illustrations are so cute and the author did a phenomenal job with their research.

A few things that stood out to me:

- Soooo much yes as far as sports mixes go (there’s a lot of controversy about sports mixes and I’m so glad they were included in the book).
- I loved the disclaimer about docking. It’s standard in AKC but not allowed in other countries.
- I really loved the genetics side of the book. Such as changes in the breed that have made them adapt well to their jobs.

This was so cute and informative! I had a great time reading through it and learning about all the breed around the globe.
