5.0 out of 5 stars Layman's Genetics, June 5, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Born To Win, Breed to Succeed (Hardcover)

A great book, full of important information for breeders. One of the real strengths of the book is the section on genetics and inheritance. I've read a reasonable amount on gene theory but this book really clarified how things work. I also really like the section on litter evaluation. Ms Trotter's style is emminently readable, and certainly one can't argue with her experience in breeding for success!

5.0 out of 5 stars Spending 2 weeks with this books is a lifetime experience, April 18, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Born To Win, Breed to Succeed (Hardcover)

If you do nothing else for yourself in the coming year, make sure you get a copy of Pat Craige Trotter's "Born To Win." You can learn more from spending two weks with this book than some breeders will learn in two decades of trying to figure things out by trial and error. The range of information offered to readers of Pat's book is so great that a book review really doesn't do it justice. Once you have the book in your hands, the only other thing you will long for is the time it will take to read and absorb it.Enjoy!Editorial in the AKC Gazette, February 199

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is an absolute must for the potential breeder., February 26, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Born To Win, Breed to Succeed (Hardcover)

Without a doubt this is the most interesting and informative dog book I have ever read. I intend to read it more than once, as I have the feeling it is one of those books you will get something else out of each time you read it. It is truly a different kind of dog book that is not only interesting but also humorous and entertaining
