5.0 out of 5 stars NOT TO TECHNICAL BUT VERY INFORMATIVE, March 30, 1999

By A Customer

I found this book to be very informative not only on things that need to be doneat time of welping, but also things that you hope as a pet lover and breeder that will never happen but you need to be aware of these things. The chapter dealing with sick puppies was sad but very upfront and I think that it was a very neccessary part of the book. As a beginner I learned alot about the welping the welping process and it gave me the information to talk to my vet so that when the time comes I will be ready. This book was loaned to me by a breeder and I am now purchasing my own copy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book - definately a must have for the breeder!, November 10, 2004

By	BerryChow (Berkshires, MA) - See all my reviews

Impressive photos and very comprehensive whelping instructions. This book is exactly what it says it is - a guide to whelping and rearing. Lots of thorough explanations on the process of whelping (very helpful to a beginner) with language that is clear and on point. Covers all sorts of contingencies with sensible information. My favorite book in a library of over a dozen standards. Highly recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars Practical, easy to read, realistic and honest., April 15, 1998

By A Customer

This is the only book that addresses tough issues such as when to let a puppy die. A difficult subject that most ignore. She gives practical, no nonsense information that is necessary when the unthinkable happens and tough decisions must be made.
