书籍简介

狗是早早被驯化的物种，几千年来一直被选择性地繁育。如今，它们是人类要好的朋友——尽管许多狗是宠物，但也有许多是工作犬：它们被用作警察、导盲犬、护卫犬、牧羊犬、拉雪橇犬以及治疗犬。《犬类百科》分章节编排，涵盖工作犬、伴侣犬、犬类行为和幼犬，是一部信息丰富的视觉盛宴。

从哈士奇到德国牧羊犬，从牧羊犬到吉娃娃，从西施犬到杰克罗素梗，从拉布拉多犬到斗牛獒犬再到腊肠犬，本书涵盖了种类繁多的犬种。每页都配有引人入胜的说明文字，即使是爱狗人士也能从中学习到新知识。《犬类百科》对400多张精美的照片进行了精彩的梳理。

The first species to be domesticated, dogs have been selectively bred over thousands of years. Today they’re man’s best friend – but while many are pets, many, too, are working animals: for the police, for the blind, as guard dogs, as sheepdogs, pulling sleds and as therapy animals. Arranged in chapters covering working dogs, companion dogs, dog behaviour, and puppies, Encyclopedia of Dogs is a hugely informative visual celebration.

From huskies to German shepherds, from collies to Chihuahuas, Shih Tzu to Jack Russell Terriers, Labradors to Bullmastiffs to Dachshunds, the book includes a huge range of breeds. With fascinating captions on every page, even dog lovers will learn something new. Encyclopedia of Dogs is a brilliant examination in over 400 outstanding photographs.
