Book of the Bitch November 23, 2008
Susan M. Scott (Australia)
Detailed and specific information in relation to the female dog; very helpful to understanding the psychology, cycles and makeup of the bitch and what effects these have upon her. Also some very useful information on puppy rearing.
 Great breeding book March 28, 2008
J. Lane
This book came in very handy. Was easy to read and understand. I have just had my first litter of pups and your book was spot on out of all the other books I have purchased.
The biggest help for first time whelper! October 25, 2007
Jennifer M. Swims (Ranger, GA, USA)
I have just started raising my English Mastiffs and Bullmastiffs and was worried this book would lean more towards the little dogs like most books. It was great! I had it right next to me when the time came for the puppies to come!
Very helpful January 29, 2007

A great book for breeders. Book is what it says... focuses on the care of your girl.
Book of the Bitch - not Book of Pregnancy, Whelping, etc April 24, 2006
M. L. Mundy
This book is a bible for many serious dog breeders out there. When someone recently asked a group of people at a national dog show for recommendations on whelping books - we ALL had and suggested this one. With that being said, this is NOT a book about pregnancy and whelping ( although that is covered of course). This book is about the owning a bitch and all the things that go with it from purchasing the dog to medical problems to placing puppies. It is complete and detailed. I pull it off my shelf for any bitch concern for reference and it (and the kit that they suggest) has sat beside me with every litter I have ever whelped.
