 Very informative (4.25 *s) August 24, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Very informative concerning dogs in general, but especially all aspects of breeding and a dog's reproductive system, both male and female. More specifically, covered are heat cycles, mating, pregnancy, nutrition, delivery, lactation, puppy neo-natal care, and weaning. Complications and illnesses at each stage are also covered, as well as when a vet should be consulted. The cataloging of diseases and complications can get a little tedious.
One is left with the impression that there is a good deal to know about the breeding process with considerable possibilities for complications. But as the author says, it is in a dog's nature to have puppies. Most often the owner needs to stay out of the way and intervene if only necessary.

I would like to have had a bigger section on the puppies after the whelp instead of having to find another book that compliments this one. The book is a great start but you need to cover more information than what this book covers alone. I've used it with neighbors who suddenly find themselves with a litter of puppies and don't know what to do. Breeding is more than having a litter to sell. It is about breeding the best stock that you can find and loving and caring for them like they are your own children. Breeding is not for the faint of heart.
