The American Kennel Club (AKC) is known for having the first and
last word as the official source for all things dog related, and
The New Complete Dog Book, 23rd Edition is the AKC’s “Bible”
of dog books that is trusted by veterinary schools, dog training
professionals, groomers, breeders, and owners. For the past 88
years, it has been the ultimate breed resource—the one book that
no purebred dog aficionado and expert can live without. With over
two million copies sold, this guide is also the longest continually
published dog book in history. This revised and updated 23rd
edition contains new American Kennel Club initiatives and programs,
recently recognized dog breeds that have been added to the seven
main groups, revised breed standards, and changes in breed
classifications. Dog owners, breeders, and clubs will find the most
current information here on AKC registration, competitive events,
and programs. A celebration of every breed of dog recognized by the
American Kennel, this newly updated edition is a must-have that
belongs in every dog enthusiast’s and professional’s library.
