Customer Reviews

AWESOME!!!
This book is great for the first time breeder, as I was. Very helpful explanations of everything that is going on with your female and whelping

Canine Reproduction: A Breeders Guide
This is a very informative book for any breeder who needs to be prepared for their upcoming litter. As first time breeders we are anxious to be as prepared as possible to help insure the health of both mother and puppies. I believe this book addresses both concerns. This is a highly recommended resource for anyone, experienced or not, expecting a litter of puppies.

Canine Reproduction: The Breeder's Guide
A good basic book for beginners, but could use an update to include indepth information on progesterone testing and it's application in the breeding process. It could also use an explanation of current and more advanced artificial insemination procedures including transcervical insemination, and intrauterine surgical implant.
