5.0 out of 5 stars Everthing you wanted to know about breeding, 29 Jul 1998
By A Customer
A practical no-nonsense approach to dog breeding is the prime focus of this very readable book. Dr. Grossman writes for the novice and advanced breeder as well, spotlighting possible pitfalls and providing guidance...In short, everything you wanted to know about breeding a winner but were afraid to ask.

5.0 out of 5 stars There are many dog books,few great ones,this is one of them, 29 Jul 1998
By A Customer
Dr. Grossman doesn't write mundanely.It is certainly one of this and the past decades most important books. He presents facts in an exciting light as in his discussion of Mendel's work in applying genetics to dog breeding

5.0 out of 5 stars The underlying advice is undisputable, 29 Jul 1998
By A Customer
I particularly recommend the thorough reading and appreciation of the first chapter. Those who have sufficient experience will appreciate and endorse the many points which are made upon the early stages of ownership and the requirements of breeding.
