This amazing book dedicated for the first-time potential breeder, fascinates and informs as well, active fanciers with years of experience in the field. This serious work is very well illustrated with appropriate photographs and is interjected with a marvelous sense of humor through numerous illustrations. The book includes not just the ideal experiences, but also the "what if ..." occurrences. The chapters proceed in a logical progression. Included is an extensive glossary of terminology. The indexing by individual subject or problem is a complete referral. This piece of artistry painted with words has saved the lives of innumerable dams and offspring. Even the most experienced breeders are now whelping their litters "by The Book"! This rarity in the realm of dogs and breeding is destined to become a classic in its own time and beyond.

This book is sooooo exciting to read. I was looking for a more "in depth" read and this is it. Explains situations and scenarios in terms that are easily understandable and i was able to gain a lot more knowledge from this open and honest book. I would recommend it to anybody who is thinking of going into breeding. I found it particularly good as it talked about giant breeds quite a lot which is my personal breeding programme requirements. A lot of books talk about 'popular' breeds without mentioning giant breeds, so this pleased me immensely.
A "must have" for any bed side cupboard!! (I can't wait to go to bed every night just to read my new book)

Beth's book is comprehensive yet basic. It will take the novice through the fundamentals step by step, including everything from: choosing sires/dams, how to assist with mating, building a whelping box, diseases, genetics, and more. Legal contract examples are provided as well.
As a breeder of Brittanys, we have found this book to simply outstanding.
