Synopsis

"The third edition of Canine Reproduction: The Breeder's Guide is a wonderful tool for novices as well as experienced breeders who wish to delve into the world of canine reproduction. It can also easily serve as a powerful tool for veterinarians with an interest in reproductive medicine and as such should be included as an excellent quick reference. The author is a veterinarian with over 40 years of experience with dogs who does an excellent job of discussing all aspects of canine reproduction in a straightforward and simplified manner using language and terms that are appropriate for breeders or laypersons while also providing medical information and scientific data in a practical and engaging format for veterinarians...Perhaps most endearing for readers is the author's ability to provide the material with both humility and humor. This book is certain to be a valuable reference for both breeders and veterinarians and should be part of their libraries, where it will be used time and again."

About this title

About the Author

Dr. Holst's interest in dogs as a hobby, and dogs as a career in research, eventually led her into veterinary school. She graduated from Colorado State University in 1977 and has been in small animal practice since that time. Reproductive and breeding management have continued to be her specialty. Holst's Sarabande Shelties provided the opportunity to become involved in showing and breeding dogs, which has continued to be a most enjoyable hobby. The sixth generation of Sarabande Shelties now lives happily with the author. Phyllis participated as a lecturer at the Colorado State University short course for breeders and veterinarians on canine reproduction during the two years it was presented. Most recently, she contributed a chapter on vaginal cytology to the second edition of Current Therapy in Theriogenology (W.B. Saunders Co.)
