The term you are looking for is a Pangram.
A pangram is a text using every letter of the alphabet. Any book is likely to contain the entire alphabet, so a pangram needs to be small in order to be remarkable. Every text is either a pangram or a lipogram. An isogram is a text that does not repeat a letter. An isogrammatic pangram is a perfect pangram.
Example:
V-nymphs beg for x: “quick waltz, dj
Other examples with more letter than 26 would be:
Back in June we delivered oxygen equipment of the same size
All questions asked by five watch experts amazed the judge
Two driven jocks help fax my big quiz
Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs
Bright vixens jump; dozy fowl quack

Well, your first three answerers made a common mistake - "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog" doesn't contain an 's' - needs to be "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog - or jumped over the lazy dogs.
