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.

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 the best book around for people with toy and small breeds. It was given to me when my first champion Bichon was about to be bred. I have used it with every litter for the past 20yrs. If you can find it, get it. It will be of great help.
