Howell's publishing program includes the most authoritative titles on numerous dog breeds - and much more, with books and reference works that inform, entertain and give guidance in the care, behavior, training and enjoyment of dogs, cats, birds, horses, fish, and herps (reptiles and amphibians).
Howell books are in the homes of pet owners, fanciers, trainers, and equestrians, as well as in top libraries, on the shelves of respected veterinarians and in the hands of renowned companion animal authorities worldwide.
Established in 1961 and acquired by John Wiley & Sons in 2001, Howell Book House's commitment to quality endures as strongly as ever.
Founded by the esteemed Elsworth Howell, writer and dog show judge, Howell Book House has won more Dog Writers' Association of America Maxwell awards than any other publisher - general or specialist.
Continuing a tradition founded in the responsible and rewarding ownership of companion animals, Howell's mission is to successfully identify and meet readers' needs for practical, accessible, authoritative, experience-based information for owners, trainers and handlers, from beginners to professionals. Our goal is to provide credible information and professional insight that adds value to our readers' potential and existing relationships with their companion animals: information that contributes to improving the quality of life for both animal and human, and that encourages and celebrates the human - companion animal bond.
Following the trends in care, training, behavior research, veterinary medicine, and the development of advanced skills for the human side of the companion animal equation, Howell is distinguished in that it draws its authoritative strength from it's authors -- recognized experts active in their fields, and from editorial staff who are pet industry professionals.
