 Successful Dog Breeding: The Complete Handbook of Canine Midwifery March 22, 2006
7 out of 9 found this review helpful
Great book to follow Breeding for Dummies. Fills in blanks and is very easy to understand. Dwells a little to much on 'breeding is not for everyone' and talking about spaying a neutering. But we all get that and we all hear that and the only reason we buy this book is to learn to breed correctly ie. what to expect in our dog and what to look for in a mate and then how to handle whelping. But overall, a very good book.
The Best and With a Great Dash of Humor September 5, 2005

Outstanding book. Very easy to comprehend; the humor tells me these folks have "been there, done that" when it comes to breeding dogs. The "drawings" (Cartoons) alone are worth the price of the book! Highly recommend.

I have never before opened a book on breeding dogs that offered such a smorgasbord of knowledge! Authors Walkowicz and Wilcox not only know everything conceivable about the safe breeding of dogs, they understand the nuances and objectives of producing the elite, superior specimen--the canine Olympian that is a conformation show dog.
Included between these covers is information on:
*Evaluating your breeding stock
*Choosing a stud dog
*Pre- and post-mating care
*Whelping boxes
*What you REALLY need on hand while birthing the litter
*Readily readable and understandable explanation of genetics
*Hereditary defects
*What can go wrong, and how to prevent it
and so much more that I can't recall. This book is a lifesaver. I should know--at the age of 14, I bred and whelped my first litter of Labradors with the help of this book, and one of those puppies is a Champion in Thailand today. On a scale of 1-10... 11!!!
