Here's the first version of the Reference FAQ being posted.
(This brings the total up to:
Intro: posted twice
New: posted once, soon to be posted again
Health: posted once
Training: never posted
Working: never posted
Misc: posted once
Reference: posted once.)

You'll notice the Organization section doesn't exist yet.  I'm
planning to put at least the national kennel addresses in there.
Other suggested organizations would be welcome; but please keep them
to the international, national or general interest level -- there are
THOUSANDS of organizations out there in the US alone, never mind
globally, and I don't for one moment think that I could list them all
meaningfully!

Again, suggestions, contributions and corrections all welcomed.

  on understanding and building on previous work.

Company, 866 Third Avenue, New York, NY 10022 USA (1980).  ISBN:
0-87605-764-4 (hardback).
  This comprehensive book is a complete guide to health care of dogs.
  It lets you know when you can treat the dog, or when you need to
  take it to the vet post-haste.  It lists symptoms so that you may
  inform your vet of relevant information about its condition.  The
  arrangement of the material facilitates rapid reference.
  Illustration of key procedures (pilling, taking pulse/temperature,
  etc).  Lists poisonous substances, including houseplants.  A
  valuable book to have around.

Davis, L. Wilson.  _Go Find!  Training Your Dog to Track_.  Ninth
printing, 1984.  Howell Book House, Inc., New York.  c1974.
ISBN: 0-87605-550-1 (hardback).
  Blurb:  "Major L. Wilson Davis is America's recognized authority on
  Tracking -- named in September 1973 to the Obedience Advisory
  Committee of the AKC as its official consultant on Tracking and
  scent training for dogs.  This official status follows upon decades
  of recognized achievemnent in these phases of Obedience training.
  Following distinguished service with the K-9 Corps during WWII, he
  has been active in the Governmnent's program of using trained
  tracking dogs for the recovery of detonated missile parts in missile
  experimentation.  Major Davis was an AKC licenced judge for all
  classes of Obedience.  He is presently training director of the
  famous Oriole Dog Training Club of Baltimore.  He organized and

  recipient of the Quaker Oats Distinguished Service Award for his
  dedicated contributions to dog training."

De Prisco, Andrew and James B. Johnson.  _The Mini-Atlas of Dog

(1990).  ISBN:0-86622-091-7 (hardback).
  This book lists and describes over 500 breeds from around the world.
  Abundantly illustrated with color drawings and photos.  Includes a
  short forward on what criteria you should consider in choosing a
  breed, and a short description of the categories it chose to group
  dogs in (slightly different from, eg. AKC groupings).

Hart, Lynette A. _The Perfect Puppy_.  WH Freeman. 1987.  ISBN
0-7167-1829-4.
  This covers only about 65 breeds' temperaments, but makes a
  greater effort to be objective than some other sources.

Hearne, Vicki.  _Adam's Task_. Knopf.  1986.
  Described as the best single reference on Koehler.

Johnson, Nancy E.  _Everyday Dog_. Howell Book House, New York.  1990.

official publication of the American Kennel Club_.  Seventeenth
edition.  Howell Book House, Macmillan Publishing Company, New York.
1985.  ISBN 0-87605-463-7.  768 pages.
  This is the reference for the AKC breed standards, each of which
  covers several pages and includes a black and white photograph and
  text on the breed's history, characteristics, and nature.  The
  health section is not illustrated, but is otherwise excellent as it
  was prepared with the cooperation of the faculty of the School of
  Veterinary Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Potential
  buyers of this book probably ought to wait for the next edition,
  since it is now seven years old and new editions have been published
  every three years (on average).

Milani, Myrna M., DVM. _The Weekend Dog_.  Signet (Penguin Books USA,
Inc.) (1985). ISBN: 0-451-15731-1 (paperback).
  This book outlines practical solutions for working people with dogs.
  It has excellent suggestions for understanding dog behavior,
  particularly destructive or unwanted behavior.  Gives all kinds of
  practical solutions to the problems of adequate exercise, adequate
  training, housebreaking, and so forth.

Miller, Harry.  _The Common Sense Book of Puppy and Dog Care_.  Bantam
Books, Third Edition (revised) (1987).  ISBN: 0-553-27789-8 (paperback).
  This small book provides a surprising amount of useful information.
  A little on the "lightweight" side, nevertheless, it gives a good
  outline of what you should know about your puppy or dog.  You can
  use this to decide how much you do know and where you need to brush
  up on what you don't.  Besides sections on how to select the right
  dog, it covers basic puppy needs (housetraining, feeding,
  illnesses), basic training, basic pet care, and a complete list of
  AKC breeds (each breed illustrated with b/w drawing, thumbnail
  sketch included -- good as an overview, but not very specific).
  Includes a section on practical home care, listing major symptoms
  you should be alert for, and listing general criteria by which you
  can determine a dog's overall healthiness.  Discusses major diseases
  and problems, gives sketches on what may be wrong given certain
  symptoms.  Includes guides to nutrition, grooming, health care.

Monks of New Skete, The.  _How To Be Your Dog's Best Friend_.  Little,
Brown & Company.  1978.  ISBN: 0-316-60491-7 (hardback).
  A monastery in upstate New York breeds, raises, and trains German
  Shepherd Dogs.  On the basis of their considerable experience, they
  offer troubleshooting guides, discuss discipline, environmental
  restrictions, basic and puppy training, and much more.  Extensive
  bibliography.  The emphasis is on understanding the dog in order to
  communicate with it or to solve problem behavior.  An excellent,
  well written classic.

Monks of New Skete, The.  _The Art of Raising a Puppy_.  Little, Brown
and Company (1991).  ISBN: 0-316-57839-8 (hardback).
  The monks of New Skete have put together an excellent book that
  discusses puppy development and the things that should be done at
  the appropriate stages and why.  First they follow a newborn litter
  through its various stages of development and at each stage they
  discuss what is happening.  They discuss testing puppies'
  temperaments and what you want to look for, under which
  circumstances.  They discuss briefly dog breeds, and how to find
  reputable breeders.  They then launch into a series of useful
  chapters: housebreaking, preliminary obedience, laying the
  foundations of training, understanding (reading) your dog, how to
  become the pack leader, basic training, discipline, and general
  care.  A good bibliography is provided at the back.

  tracking equipment, tracking tests, training to search, search and

  Besides the excellent text and illustrations in the album, which
  cover 2 pages for each breed (175 total), the informative sections
  are also well-written and illustrated and include many color
  photographs as well. This is a good general reference on dogs, and
  is especially helpful when choosing a breed to own.  The health
  chapters are invaluable to non-veterinarian owners.

Taylor, David. _You and Your Dog_.  Alfred A. Knopf, New York (1991).
ISBN:0-394-72983-8 (trade paperback).
  This useful book is an overall guide to the health and care of dogs.
  It includes a basic listing of dog breeks (AKC).  This is a good
  general purpose idea that gives you an idea of what all is involved
  in owning and caring for a dog.  Taylor gives flow-chart questions
  to consider when deciding if symptoms are serious or not.  An easily
  understandable format.  Not as comprehensive as other care books,
  but a good start in understanding what you need to look for when
  your dog seems off.  Includes illustrations of many procedures, such
  as teeth cleaning and claw trimming.  Informative discussion of
  reproductive system, grooming, and dog anatomy.
