Genetics: An Introduction for Dog Breeders.

$24.95

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!
