books a dog breeder can have on the shelf! Answers your questions about anatomy, breeding
behavior, genetics, pregnancy, whelping, rearing a litter, reproductive and whelping problems,
even artificial insemination. A must-have book! Has been updated very slightly to reflect current

By Jackie
Isabell; Hardcover; 2003
While many dog breeders
admit they rely on intuition to produce an extraordinarily successful litter, the role of genetics
in the production of a quality litter cannot be overlooked. Yet wrapping one's brain around
genetics is an overwhelming prospect and not one most breeders take to. Yet by not embracing key
genetic concepts and principles, some breeders unfortunately continue to pass on common hereditary
problems, such as eye and skeletal disorders, from generation to generation. The author hopes to
reverse this trend by providing breeders with a comprehensive yet easy to understand guide to the
nature of heredity, the application of genetics to specific breeds, how to control genetic
disorders, and the art of breed selection. This book is incredibly thorough, but understandable by
the average dog breeder. A must-have for any breeder's library! |
