 Missing basic infomation April 4, 2009

Ms. Holst's text, while deeply informative, might be better suited for first or second year veterinary students. Yes, I wanted and needed to learn more about breeding; however, I wasn't anticipating such a scholarly volume that I had to decode! The depth to which Ms. Holst examines breeding, and the mechanics of breeding, was a bit overdone; and yet, she omitted basic information such as what age is appropriate to begin using your dogs for breeding. I did enjoy the challenge of putting all her medical jargon into to laymens terms, but perhaps the publisher might want to consider offering college credit with each purchase!
 Great book. Very informational January 26, 2009

Not a veterinary text, but only one step down. Easier to read than "Reproduction in the Dog and Cat" and "Small-Animal Reproduction and Fertility". Covers physiology and breeding for soundness. Recommended by Cargill of Dog World.

This is a very informative book for any breeder who needs to be prepared for their upcoming litter. As first time breeders we are anxious to be as prepared as possible to help insure the health of both mother and puppies. I believe this book addresses both concerns. This is a highly recommended resource for anyone, experienced or not, expecting a litter of puppies.
