 All the answers for breeders February 16, 2007

in a well cross referenced format. It is easy to find what you need in a hurry. It is very detailed with just enough physiology and anatomy for the details to make sense. I used it during my last whelping and found it very useful. It was also useful for breeding timing and care of newborn pups.

A comprehensive book for Dog Breeders February 23, 2006
22 out of 22 found this review helpful
I have many books on dog breeding on my shelves. This one is different in several ways. It is written in textbook fashion with a FAQ section at the front of and a "Test your understanding" quiz at the end of each chapter. It uses color photographs to show you what the author is talking about when describing specific conditions or situations. It is written in laymans language making it easy to understand and yet it is comprehensive enough for the long time breeder to learn something new.
The author has the educational and practical credentials required to write this type of book and uses a style of writing that's easy to read without being condescending.
In my opinion this book is a must have for any dog breeder and I strongly recommend it.
