4.0 out of 5 starsextremely informative
By A Customer on March 1, 2000
Format: Hardcover
This is a well written book, easy for the novice breeder tofollow. I have referred to this book time and again over the pastseveral years. Although easy to read, the layout of information makes it hard to find specific subjects unless you have made it a point to mark pages.

4.0 out of 5 starsGood book but OLD!
By Karla on November 29, 2002
Format: Hardcover
I ordered this from amazon and amazon shows a cover of the book and says its date is 1998. When I got the book it was a completely different cover and the publish date inside said 1978. No other date than that one and whats with the change of the cover? This cover is blue with a puppy on the front. Looks like they may have updated the cover but nothing else.
However, the information inside is very good and covers a lot of stuff and pretty accurate still for 2002. It is worth buying even though the picture quality is very poor black and white newspaper print type, the information alone is worth the price of the book. I would however buy it used if I were to buy it over again. There are some colored photo's in the middle of the book of breeds, but also not very good quality either.

5.0 out of 5 starsGood Old Book
By Joann C. Garrison on October 10, 2011
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I received this book from an old breeder friend of mine when my dog was going to have puppies. The photo's are little graphic, but essential if this is your first litter. There's no fancy stuff here, just good old basic information. I had no idea how far back to cut the umbilical cord, now I know. Get this book to keep on hand. I have referred back to and have it out right now in 2011, because I am expecting another litter. Buy this book used because it is old. I can't say enough good things about this book and I manage a pet store with plenty of books to choose from.

5.0 out of 5 starsThis is a replacement for a book I had for a long time.
By Echecs on September 9, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I've had a copy of this book for decades. I loaned out my last copy and never got it back, so I had to buy a new one. This book is a MUST for anyone that wants to be a successful dog breeder. It gives you straight facts about what to expect, and when to call the vet. This copy won't be loaned out.

5.0 out of 5 starsYes- I finally [!] found this book again.
By shamrckvly on August 10, 2012
Format: Hardcover
I have used the earlier version of this book as a reference for breeding multiple times [with the help of my vet as needed]. It tells of important details some other books don't always mention. I have used a hi-literer to note facts I want to remember in a hurry.
In fact, this is one book I have loaned to others when they are having a litter for the 1st time. I have read lots of other books on breeding, deliveries, post-partum care,newborn & puppy care and this is the one I always return to. I have decreased breeding my dogs [last x was 2 yrs ago] but I still like having this reference book in my library.

I think this is a great book for beginners. I wish it had alittle more info for the more experienced breeder. But still overall a very informative read.
