For reference into which breeds would be ideal to use for my characters, I purchased a book the other day that contains 100's of different dog breeds, very helpfully categorised into the likes of size, type and shape.
The book is called "The ultimate encyclopedia of dog breeds & dog care"
As well as using the book for initial reference, and to give me ideas of certain breeds, I also used the internet. This book will help with every character except the protagonist, who is a rodent.
