From the noble Afghan to indigenous village dogs, this vibrant illustrated gallery offers fascinating information on more than 600 dog breeds, from the author and illustrator of Doggie Language and Kitty Language.

Did you know that Australian Shepherds were created in California in the mid-nineteenth century to herd sheep? Or that the free-roaming mutts of Singapore are affectionately named Singapore Specials?

Dogs of the World presents a collection of adorable drawings and fascinating tidbits about more than 600 types of dogs organized by their geographical origin: from the English Springer Spaniel and the Moroccan Aidi to the Thai Ridgeback and New Guinea Singing Dog.

A well-known artist in the animal training and welfare world, Lili Chin demystifies terms like purebred, and shines a welcome spotlight on the world's 85 percent of dogs, including mutts and village dogs, who are no breed at all.

She discusses dog types and their working roles, such as herding, livestock guarding, scent detection, dog sports, and companionship, and offers insights on breed health risks, personality traits, and how breed ancestry DNA tests work.

Featuring hundreds of illustrations and research vetted by dog history experts, behavior professionals, and veterinarians, Chin has created a loving and accessible guide to the diversity of our canine companions.
