Breeding from your Bitch by Tony Buckwell Bvet Med Dlas Mrcvs
Breeding from your Bitch covers every aspect of breeding for anyone who might be considering mating their bitch. Written by a vet, this accessible and invaluable book dispels common misconceptions and addresses frankly the issues involved, ranging from the cost, time and effort concerned, through the mating process itself, to ensuring the health and welfare of both mother and puppies. The book covers factors to consider in choosing a breed; choosing a stud dog and the mating process; care of the bitch during pregnancy; whelping and caring for neo-natal puppies; post-pregnancy care and, finally, rearing a healthy litter.
A no-nonsense, practical book which would provide very clear steerage when considering mating a bitch-- Robert I Greaves * The Kennel Club Gazette *
