Product Description
Product Description
Here, at last, is a revised and expanded edition of this award–winning breeders′ reference. Successful Dog Breeding is a book for the first–time breeder and longtime fancier alike, no matter what the breed. Down–to–earth practical information is given to cover virtually every contingency associated with breeding and whelping. Presented in a humorous format, even the most serious information is made easier to understand.
Chris Walkowicz and Bonnie Wilcox, D.V.M., are both veteran dog fanciers who bring a wealth of personal and professional experience to every chapter. Covering topics from planning the breeding (should I or shouldn′t I?) to problems encountered in breeding, delivery and neonatal care, the authors offer viable solutions to innumerable problems, whether old or new. Two highly extensive appendices on breed idiosyncrasies, compiled from correspondence with longtime fanciers as well as from research from veterinary journals, complete the abundance of information offered here. All of this is complemented by original drawings by the well–known canine artist Mary Jung.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent step-by-step procedures for midwifery!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Successful Dog Breeding (Howell reference books) (Hardcover)
We would have been lost without this book. We read it four times before our female Bichon Frise was ready to deliver. It gives excellent step-by-step procedures that guided us through the whelping process and made us aware of difficulties that we could encounter. After studying the information, we were ready and able to take on the responsibility. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is considering breeding their dog. To the authors, "Bravo!"
5.0 out of 5 stars
Lots of information,

This review is from: Successful Dog Breeding (Howell reference books) (Hardcover)
If you are considering dog breeding then you need to do it properly. Read as much as you can about every aspect of dog breeding. This book is a good starting point and has a wealth of good sensible information in an easy to read format for even the most inexperienced person.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Book gives erroneous information on Boston Terriers,
By A Customer
This review is from: Successful Dog Breeding (Howell reference books) (Hardcover)
I can't recommend the breed specific section of this book, since the one breed I know includes the comment that Boston Terrier tails should be docked if they are not born with natural screwtails. Tail docking is specifically prohibited in the breed standard and is a disqualification in the show ring. I feel the authors may know general breeding but certainly did not do proper reasearch in this instance which makes me question other information.
