the only breeding book endorsed by top breeders
"There are many books on breeding dogs, but Ann's book is so on-target and comprehensive that it has become a bible among successful breeders. The news that Howell is making this modern classic available again is to the benefit of both new and future generations of aspiring breeders."
-- From the new Foreword by Wendell J. Sammet, The American Kennel Club's first Breeder of the Year (2002)
The bible of quality dog breeding, The Joy of Breeding Your Own Show Dog is a must-have for novice and veteran breeders alike, covering everything from developing a viable breeding program to genetics to whelping, raising, and socializing puppies. Written in easy-to-understand language by renowned dog breeder Ann Seranne, this classic takes you step by step through the entire process of breeding a successful litter, from the moment of conception to a dog's first show. You'll see how to select a method of breeding, evaluate your own breeding stock and the potential of a litter, avoid the pitfalls of whelping, and properly care for the litter until the puppies are ready to go to their new homes. Ann Seranne's deep love of dogs, her vast knowledge, and her expertise make this the only guide you will ever need to become a successful breeder.

 Overall, not a good book for beginners! July 14, 2009

While this book did have some good information, much of it was outdated and in serious need of an overhaul! The vaccination section is antiquated at best. I found serious fault with the writer's view on "barbaric" ear cropping but she seems ok with "culling" newborn puppies for mismarking! A new breeder would be better off with another information source. Those already with a solid background in breeding/showing will find useful information in this book.
 great book August 22, 2008

Have just bred my dog and had a lot of questions about how to take care of her during and after welping. This book answered all of my questions.

I burrowed this book from a public library and have loved the book, i actually had to purchase this book thru Amazon. Glad that it came back~
Has a wealth of information and very easy to understand and follow up on it
Excellent book to add to your bookshelf for breeding information. A must have for the reputable breeder or a newbie just starting out.
I have no down fall opinions of this book at all. "Excellent" ratings~
