If you've EVER thought of breeding, THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU! Explains EVERYTING, including problems you may encounter, things you never expected, BUT SURPRISE! and THIS BOOK COVERS THEM! I use it as my bible, and wouldn't have a litter without it by my side. I have the others, and they sit in my library. This book is an absolute MUST. It is a Wonderful, easy to understand, most complete guide to breeding.

I like this book because I know the author, the veterinary professor under which she researched, and the scientific studies that support her work. Many of the books on breeding are written by people with far less experience and understanding of the reproductive system and the estrous cycle in bitches, and simply propitiate old, outdated information. This book is not only thorough, written so a complete novice can understand, and covers everything from making the choice to breed to placing the puppies, but it is also dependably ACCURATE. It's the only book I trust from cover to cover. Should be required reading for every dog breeder!

I always reread Phyllis Holst's wonderful book every time I breed a litter and have it at my side during whelping. Its pages are thick with 'postit' bookmarks. The advice is concise, but still detailed -- the perfect book for the first-time breeder.

This is an excellent book for the serious informed breeder. It is very detailed and technical. It covers everything you need to know about the dogs anatomy, heat cycle, physiology, breeding, pregnancy, paturation and care of the pups. It has the detail I couldn't find in other books, but is still easy to read and understand.

Provides education regarding te entire reporductive cycles for dogs and bitches. Illustrations are relevant and explained well. We have bought several copies of this book for friends and owners of our puppies as a reference book.

A must have for anyone breeding dogs. I am a breeder of English Mastiffs. I have read several books on dog breeding, but this one is the most detailed medically amd scientifically. Outstanding.

I am eagerly waiting my first little of Cardigan Welsh Corgi puppies. This book was highly recommended to me and I wish to pass on the recommendation. Helpful to prepare and so much information gained on dogs generally.

This book was referred to me by friends that have been breeding dogs for many years. They both call it their doggie bible. I ordered it to late to help with the actual breeding and whelping of my dog but it has answered several other questions I have had since the birth on everything from puppy development to other topics such as dewclaw removal. I defintely recommend this book!!.

This book is great for the first time breeder, as I was. Very helpful explanations of everything that is going on with your female and whelping

It was a wonderful purchase. Quick and easy. This seller did a wonderful job on ana item I needed very much. Thank you and hope to purchase more from this seller.
