Modern dog breeding has been truly described as a blending of science and art, and it fully lives up to its dual image. To guide breeders through the intriguing complexity of producing fine animals, The Technique of Breeding Better Dogs gives clear, detailed information on every stage of the process. Using a style that is accessible to readers of all levels of experience, the author, Dr Dieter Fleig, explains the workings of heredity and sexual physiology. He gives expert advice on mating, pregnancy, and whelping, and then gives step-by-step coverage of rearing a litter and socialising the puppies.

Lavishly illustrated with photographs and line-drawings, this is an exceptional book that should be an indispensable item in every dog breeder's library.
