Synopsis
Brian Plummer has bred dogs virtually all his life and has experienced most of the problems attendant with the birth of puppies. He readily admits that he has also made most of the mistakes dog breeders make, though his scientific training has perhaps allowed him to check and dodge most of the unscientific hokum that sometimes clouds the minds of conventional dog breeders. This practical and comprehensive book is essential reading for anybody who intends to breed dogs, be it an occasional littler or as a full time occupational. It is full of telling and instructive anecdotes coupled with sound professional advice from one of the UK's top breeders. The book covers all aspects of breeding from choosing and maintaining breeding stock through to the birth and rearing of puppies and on their sale. It also deals with some of the less palatable aspects of dog breeding including vivisection, culling and the disposal of kennel waste.
