The needs of the great multitude of dog
lovers have been carefully studied (more
than 175,000 pedigree dogs are registered
every year with The Kennel Club) ; the
Standard requirements of breed clubs
and associations have been carefully ob-
served; illustrations have been selected
which are not only handsome but
demonstrate clearly good and bad points
in the breeds; and great care has been
taken to present this very necessary
information in a clear and readable
manner.
