Genetics of the dog
I breed quality toy poodles.
I believe any reputable breeder should own and study this book.
It is a starting place. You have to go beyond what is covered here. This will give you a good foundation in understanding the genetics of a dog.
I highly recommend this book for dog breeders of any breed, the author specializes in the German Sheppard, but this covers dogs in general.

Written by a well know and respected geneticist. Although it can be a bit overwhelming at first as you continue reading the information gathers into place and you finally get an understanding of what he is trying to put across to you as the reader. A must for any dog breeder!
