Product description

Review

"If for three decades the late Roy Robinson s Genetics for Cat Breeders has been the cat breeder s Bible, this new book must be the American Revised Version....[The authors] have successfully preserved, continued and expanded on Roy Robinson s pioneering work... Not only does it continue Robinson s work, it actually makes the best guide to feline genetics better!"C.F.A. s The Almanac

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference for breeders
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 February 2012

Well-written and logically presented. Fourth & latest edition updated 1999 so not inclusive of latest information on areas such as PCR/genetic sequencing and latest internet references but nevertheless a worthwhile "indulgence" at around £50+ for serious cat breeding professionals. It puts feline genetics into context; I would suggest that a basic general understanding of genetics (other than species specific) would be an advantage to anyone before reading this book to maximise its benefit. I definitely recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Genetics for cat breeders & veterinarians
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 September 2011
As a relatively novice breeder of Norwegian forest cats, i wanted to find out more about genetics, how they effect colours, white proportions and of course health. I did do a little genetics as part of A level Biology, but that was many years ago.

I found the book started at the begining, explaining how cells split etc, and guided you through the more complex issues of how Tabby/solid, and colours etc are passed on. It does not assume any prior knowledge, some things are repeated a few times, but in a positive way, as it helps to make things clear, and shows how some things have relevance in several areas.

I would recomend this book to anyone wanted to find out a bit more (and in my opinion anyone breeding should at least understand the basics). It makes what could be a dry subject relavitively easy to understand. It may seem like a lot of pennies, but worth saving for (or putting on the Christmas list).

4.0 out of 5 stars excellent for cat genetics
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 December 2009
Although not the easiest text to get through, this seems to be one of the only decent books for cat genetics. You will need to re-read it several times for all of the complex information to sink in. I wish there were more books available like this and the price is somewhat exorbitant, but an excellent reference for breeders or those with an interest nonetheless.

As for the corny headline...I couldn't help it!
This book is great for the beginner as well as an experienced breeder.
I'm not new to the world of breeding but I am new to the world of cat breeding. I'm a bit nerdy and this book satisfies the science part for me as well as giving me an easy read. It's written in a way that is incredibly educational without being a total textbook.
It had a glossary in the back of terms you may not be familiar with, it's chapters are put together very well and you can look for specifics if you don't want to read the entire thing from front to back. It's easy to skip around.
All in all this has been by far the most well done book on genetics that I've ever read! And yes, I've read a few!
This is a must have in every breeders library!

This is a technical book. Textbook like, with very up to date information on cat genetics. You need some basic genetics knowledge to get the most from this book. It has what I was looking for. Good reading to learn more about cat genetics for a breeder.
