Treasure.

Every now and then, I stumble upon an absolute treasure of a book. This is one of them.

The Best and With a Great Dash of Humor

Outstanding book. Very easy to comprehend; the humor tells me these folks have "been there, done that" when it comes to breeding dogs. The "drawings" (Cartoons) alone are worth the price of the book! Highly recommend.

Absolute Satisfaction!

I have never before opened a book on breeding dogs that offered such a smorgasbord of knowledge! Authors Walkowicz and Wilcox not only know everything conceivable about the safe breeding of dogs, they understand the nuances and objectives of producing the elite, superior specimen--the canine Olympian that is a conformation show dog. Included between these covers is information on: *Evaluating your breeding stock *Choosing a stud dog *Pre- and post-mating care *Whelping boxes *What you REALLY need on hand while birthing the litter *Readily readable and understandable explanation of genetics *Hereditary defects *What can go wrong, and how to prevent it and so much more that I can't recall. This book is a lifesaver. I should know--at the age of 14, I bred and whelped my first litter of Labradors with the help of this book, and one of those puppies is a Champion in Thailand today. On a scale of 1-10... 11!!!

Successful Dog Breeding - The Complete Handbook of Canine ..

I found this book to be the most helpful of all my books on dog breeding. It's easy reading and following. I recommend to anyone thinking of breeding their dogs.

Excellent step-by-step procedures for midwifery!

We would have been lost without this book. We read it four times before our female Bichon Frise was ready to deliver. It gives excellent step-by-step procedures that guided us through the whelping process and made us aware of difficulties that we could encounter. After studying the information, we were ready and able to take on the responsibility. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is considering breeding their dog. To the authors, "Bravo!"
