Dog Breeding – A Handbook for a Responsible Breeder is a framework that proposes some of the latest scientific findings, techniques and information in dog breeding. It summarizes research and studies regarding dog genetics, bitch mating and the birthing of puppies and their subsequent care. Much of the information found online is written by non-specialists which causes the spread of inaccurate or misleading information which can prove to have grave consequences for breeders and their dogs. Moreover, this handbook’s objective is to provide dynamic approaches to the field of dog breeding, and all the information contained within should carefully be considered while evaluating the most effective techniques and practices in dog breeding. Pairing the research and information within this handbook with the love and attention of the breeder, it’s hoped that potential breeders make informed, well thought out decisions in the best interest of their dogs and for more optimal results.
