5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference for the professional, December 20, 2007

OK yes this is a professional text, written for the professional, not the layman. I do not know why anyone would expect otherwise. Dr. Johnson is the acknowledged dean of Canine Theriogenology, and this is her classic tome on the subject. Written in 2001, it is becoming a tiny bit dated, but is still without doubt the definitive book on the subject, and any reproductive practicioner would find their library lacking without this reference. For the GP or ordinary Vet student, maybe not of interest, this is a specialist's book. Probably the most utilized book in my collection, along with Small Animal Surgery.

This book has tons of information on most topics related to canine and feline reproduction. I haven't been able to find a lot of this information from other sources. It's more of a veterinary text than what an ordinary dog or cat breeder would need.

Love this book, i waited a long time to buy the book as it is expensive, but worth ever penny as they say.
If you think you know it all about breeding and whelping, then think again, this book taught me things i never would have known unless i had read this book. well done to the authors
