Most show a dog out of doors, and a few stand alone on a plain ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt opens with the breeds of Britain and Ireland: a rough-coated Irish Wolfhound on a windswept headland, a West Highland White Terrier among yellow gorse, a mahogany-red Irish Setter in golden stubble and a grey Scottish Deerhound in a frosty glen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen those of continental Europe: a black-and-tan German Shepherd on a pine forest floor, a smooth red Dachshund by a burrow, a black Standard Poodle in a full, natural coat of curls, and white-and-gold Borzois at the edge of a birch forest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen those of the Americas and Australia: a fawn Chihuahua with large upright ears, a hairless black Xoloitzcuintli, an Alaskan Malamute in a wide frozen valley and a blue-speckled Australian Cattle Dog on red earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen the puppies: tricolour Beagle puppies asleep in a heap, their eyes still closed, a Basset Hound puppy with its long ears trailing in the grass, a wrinkled Shar-Pei puppy among fallen cherry blossom and a German Shepherd puppy with one ear up and one flopped over.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen coats and colours: a white Komondor hung to the ground in heavy cords, a harlequin Great Dane, a blue merle Australian Shepherd, and black, yellow and chocolate Labradors on a beach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen running, playing and resting: a Greyhound at full gallop along the sand, young Whippets in play bows among buttercups, a Malamute curled asleep in the snow with its tail over its nose and a shaggy Bearded Collie rolling on its back in long summer grass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToward the end, the seasons: a golden Cocker Spaniel among bluebells, a black Newfoundland wading through summer surf, a silver-grey Weimaraner under autumn birches, a red Shiba Inu among fallen maple leaves and a red-and-white St Bernard on a wide snowy pass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShort notes run through the book. They are about dogs rather than about the pictures: when a puppy's eyes first open, where the Xoloitzcuintli gets its name, the Great Dane's real homeland, and what the Komondor's long felted cords are thought to protect it from.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinted in full colour on heavy 150gsm coated paper at 216 x 279 mm (8.5 x 11 inches), as a hardcover with the art printed on the case.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cedar Pine Editions","offers":[{"title":"Case Bound - PPC","offer_id":68147216449840,"sku":"9671456003924","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0262\/2357\/5085\/files\/9671456003924.jpg?v=1792613296","url":"https:\/\/www.thegreatbritishbookshop.co.uk\/products\/coffee-table-book-of-dogs-hardcover","provider":"The Great British Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
