1.0étoiles sur 5 Complete Rubbish, Juil 4 2004
I bought this book thinking it would be as good as the other for dummies titles I've read, but I was wrong. It seems to me as if this book was written by a novice.

For instance, in one of the sidebars (titled "Old wives tales"), the author states that "the dominant gene prevails" and breeding a dog of one trait to another with the opposite trait (like tall to short for example) will never produce offspring that's in between. He obviously hasn't heard of co-recessive or co-dominant genes or gene mutations. In the same article, he also claims inter-species matings is impossible- I guess he's never heard of or seen a Bengal Cat, Liger or Mule. His statement about breeding dogs to their wilder counterparts like wolves will never better their hunting skills is also false (there have been many instances of dogs mating with wolves and the resulting puppies had traits of both parents, the controvertial American Indian Dog is one example). Perhaps he should have taken the chance to explain how these myths came by instead of proving his lack of knowledge by being a cocky know-it-all.

The rest of the book is nothing but articles concerning dogs and dog breeding in general- the only detailed articles (and there are a lot of them) are the ones bragging about the sucess of the author's breeding stock, the countries his breeding stock has travelled to and his credentials. For example, he talks about how important matching pedigrees is, how he does it all the time, how successful he is at doing it, but never tells us how we should go about it.

There is nothing in this book on choosing a potential owner for the puppies, only a couple of paragraphs saying that people should avoid giving out their dogs to those who only way one because the breed is a latest fad. Perhaps a sample question list would have been useful.

The fact that such a reputed publisher would let a narcissist who doesn't even understand basic genetics write a "How To" book worries me. A novice breeder would have better luck finding out about dog breeding in a general pet care book.

Please do not buy this book. The only time it'll come into use is when you run out of newspapers to toilet train your puppies with.

5.0étoiles sur 5 There are many reason for wanting to know about breeding, Mars 25 2003
Par Un client
My roomate recently rescued a pregant female dog and was literally unable to find a *single* book on dog reproduction in our strongly Animal Rights influenced community library so we bought this book. Might it ever occur to the writer of review 2 that there might be Humane reasons other than making money for wanting a book on dog breeding? Should the rescuers of pregnant animals be prevented from reading books that will tell them how to take care of their charges, safely deliver a litter, and care for the puppies afterwards? There are a lot of abandoned pregnant dogs needing new homes and thank goodness we are still allowed access to materials ( though we had to pay, the library was loaded with "adopt a dog" material, which we had *already* done and not a single book on how to help our adopted pregnant dog! )
This is a very good, detailed, informative book, and very HELPFUL. If we had listened to Reviewer 2's advice and not bought this book, we might have made mistakes in caring for our furry refugee, and what's humane about that?
Censorship is an attempt to control access to information. Censorship can hurt.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Only for those who want to breed top dogs, Jui 2 2002
Par "labluver" (Chicago, IL) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Beauchamp, a highly successful breeder and judge, makes very sure your motives are right for breeding top class dogs and makes no bones (pun not intended!) about discouraging anyone who thinks they can do this for profit. Takes you step by step through finding the right mentor and selecting the best possible stock to establish a bloodline that will produce typey, healthy and mentally sound puppies. He makes genetics really easy to understand and how important they are in developing a breeding program. I show my own dogs now and I'm not actually a beginner but far from achieving the goals I've set. This book will be kept handy for a lot of years to come I'm sure!
I think what is especially responsible about this book is that it not only cautions against breeding without making sure suitable homes are waiting but gives some great tips on how to go about doing it.
