The research and development have resulted in the growth of various canine specialties and a number of books, particularly in the developed countries, have been published. However, these books for the reasons of having a high price, scarce availability and sometimes inadequacy of pertinent information, have not fully met the requirements of practicing veterinarians and dog lovers as per the Indian conditions. The main purpose of this publication is to serve as a comprehensive handbook on dogs for the veterinary students, practitioners, dog lovers and all others who have a deep interest in dog keeping, care and management, behaviour, training, breed characteristics, feeding, breeding, infertility, diseases, etc. in one volume. Consolidated efforts have been made to present the subject in a systematic and elucidated manner. This book would prove to be an asset and ready information source to veterinary students, teachers, practicing veterinarians and dog lovers.</span><br></p>
