Whether you are just about to acquire your first show dog, or awaiting the birth of your first litter, this book is a MUST HAVE for your bookshelf. Full of sound advice and helpful suggestions, this book takes the reader from buying their first show prospect, to grading your first litter of puppies. The author is quick to point out that breeding dogs is not for the person looking to make a quick buck, but for the serious lover of their chosen breed. She feels (as I do) dogs that can’t make the grade in the show/performance ring should not be bred. The chapters on genetics is easily understood and simply written. I would not think of breeding another litter without this book at my side! S. Finn Destiny Scotties

Whether you are a long time breeder or a novice, this book is a must. I have been breeding Yorkies since the late seventies and Maltese since the early ninties and I still refer to this book during each litter. This book provides easy to understand instructions along with pictures and graphics for breeding, the whelping process, and care of the pups afterwards including tube feeding if necessary. It details the warning signs of a failing pup so that you can take proactive action. Don’t let the title scare you into thinking that this book is not for you. If you are currently breeding or if you are planning on breeding in the future, this is the only book on the subject that you will ever need. Amen.

This is one of the best books out there for anyone considering breeding show dogs. Great details on how to study pedigrees and how to best develop your own line. Has become hard to find, but is well worth the money if you can locate a copy.
UPDATE: Book has been re-released by Howell Books. Good thing. It was going for $80 +++ on eBay!
