Books on Dogs

José Castelló , author of the delightful field guide, Canids of the World: Wolves, Wild Dogs, Foxes, Jackals, Coyotes, and Their Relatives recommends some of the best books to read on dogs and other canids. “Whereas the wolf is a generalist, the dog has been selectively bred by man over some 15,000 years to specialize in traits important to humans”

Dogs are also the oldest domestic animal in the world. Dogs retain many characteristics of their wolf ancestors, but whereas the wolf is a generalist, the dog has been selectively bred by man over some 15,000 years to specialize in traits important to humans.
