Format:Paperback
Very informative and well written account of dog breeding, right from before conception to weaning puppies. It covers all sections in great detail with excellent illustrations. Even though it is written by a vet it is a very sympathic help guide to breeding. Would recommend anyone interested in breeding dogs to buy and read.

I bought this book as I wanted to breed my 2 Labradors. I refered to the book time and time again for the many stages of the breeding process, from mating to pregnancy to delivery to weaning. My Labrador gave birth to 5 healthy puppies 8 weeks ago. The only criticism I have of the book was that it said that instinct would take over during delivery. Unfortunately, this did not happen so I was glad that I knew what to do with the puppies as soon as they were born (which was all due to this book). I would thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who was thinking about breeding any kind of dog - it's thorough and informative - just what you and your dog needs!

I bought this book purely to qualify for free postage (cheap skate I know), but I am so glad I did!
This book has joined what is becoming a mini collection of dog breeding books, as I count down the days to when my first litter of pups is born. I have to say that if I was told I could only keep one book on the subject this would be the one, it has made me feel infinatley better about the upcoming welping, which up until now, non of the other books have managed to do.
Its easy to read, plus has many diagrams and advice on what to do when problems arise.
I would recommend this book to anyone venturing into the world of dog breeding. No doubt I will still be panicing when the event happens, but not as much as I would have been if I had never found this little gem.

A good general book, with a USA bias
We wanted a general book to advise us on breeding. This is an interesting book, and is re-assuring, but it does have a USA bias - not just discussing American registration schemes,... Read more

Great book lots of easy to understand information.
This book is great for all dog breeders, from beginners to the more experienced breeder. Easy to understand information and problems that can occur and what to do if they do.

Disappointed
Because this book was written by a vet there was more emphasis on problems associated with breeding. Read more
