Product Description

Product Description

Written by experts, this book is relevant to both the experienced breeder and the novice bitch owner and also serves as a comprehensive guide to those considering owning a bitch. Whether or not you intend to breed, the more you understand about how bitches function, think and learn, the more pleasure your bitch is likely to give you and the happier and healthier she will be. For those interested in breeding a litter, the procedure for whelping and puppy rearing is carefully explained. Most importantly, the book contains detailed advice on how to recognise the signs of sickness and those diseases to which bitches are prone and what action to take. The information is divided into 12 chapters arranged in four sections: Care of Your Bitch, Breeding from Your Bitch, Anatomy, Physiology and Medical Problems, Useful Information and Data

THIS BOOK IS JUST SO EASY TO READ, IT TELLS THE READER EVERYTHING THEY WILL EVER NEED TO KNOW ABOUT KEEPING AND BREEDING FROM YOUR BITCH. I WISH I HAD COMMISSION FOR EVERY COPY I HAVE RECOMMENDED!! DON'T BREED A LITTER WITHOUT IT.

I found this book to be very informative giving step by step advice. From the mating procedure to the delivery of puppies it showed good advice which has helped me breed litters.

Well done!!!

This is the most read book in my collection, it has been thumbed through so many times that it is now being replaced by a nice new copy! No matter how many litters of puppies we have, I still find the advice in this book absolutely invaluable. This book should be in the collection of every dog owner, not just those who own bitches or breed.
