Very informative book. I just had a litter of 9 pups and through using this book I was better prepared to deal with any issues. The whelping went very well. I would definately recommend this book to anyone.

With so many titles to choose from, I am happy to simplify your search by recommending this book.
This has an easy to find index, complete information for each phase of the breeding process, and an in depth discussion of problems, remedies, and the total cycle of choosing the mate for your dog, to happy healthy puppies.

If you breed dogs once or many times, you need to have this book in your library. Our vet receommended we purchase it prior to our 10th litter. Even though we have many books on breeding, this by far is the best. It is no nonsense & very specific. I am very glad we purchased it.

in a well cross referenced format. It is easy to find what you need in a hurry. It is very detailed with just enough physiology and anatomy for the details to make sense. I used it during my last whelping and found it very useful. It was also useful for breeding timing and care of newborn pups.
 Worth the money and your time! July 14, 2006
