Book Description

Howell reference books March 15, 1993
Breeding a Litter: The Complete Book of Prenatal and Postnatal Care is the most up-to-date and inclusive guide to breeding, whelping and placing puppies. There is a focus on making the most of the "breeding experience" in order to produce puppies who are physically and emotionally sound and go on to enjoy life and enrich the lives of the humans around them. This book contains the all-important basic knowledge necessary to serve as a foundation for the reality of firsthand experience. A clear and commonsense format shows everyone who is thinking about breeding a litter how to create the best possible environment for dogs, puppies and owners alike.

Beyond the basics, author Beth J. Finder Harris gives detailed information on selecting breeding stock, neonatal care, puppy development, social conditioning, and also fully addresses the aspects of breeders' responsibilities, contracts and puppy care instructions.

5.0 out of 5 stars A most impressive work for complete support of dam & litter., January 18, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Breeding a Litter: The Complete Book of Prenatal and Postnatal Care (Howell reference books) (Hardcover)
This amazing book dedicated for the first-time potential breeder, fascinates and informs as well, active fanciers with years of experience in the field. This serious work is very well illustrated with appropriate photographs and is interjected with a marvelous sense of humor through numerous illustrations. The book includes not just the ideal experiences, but also the "what if ..." occurrences. The chapters proceed in a logical progression. Included is an extensive glossary of terminology. The indexing by individual subject or problem is a complete referral. This piece of artistry painted with words has saved the lives of innumerable dams and offspring. Even the most experienced breeders are now whelping their litters "by The Book"! This rarity in the realm of dogs and breeding is destined to become a classic in its own time and beyond.

5.0 out of 5 stars Breeding A Litter by Beth Harris, January 25, 2000
This review is from: Breeding a Litter: The Complete Book of Prenatal and Postnatal Care (Howell reference books) (Hardcover)
Beth's book is comprehensive yet basic. It will take the novice through the fundamentals step by step, including everything from: choosing sires/dams, how to assist with mating, building a whelping box, diseases, genetics, and more. Legal contract examples are provided as well.

As a breeder of Brittanys, we have found this book to simply outstanding.
