Holst, a dog breeder and small animal veterinarian, presents a fairly scientific treatment of breeding, designed for the serious breeder. This
dog first aid book dispels some of the common myths about the proper time to breed, mixed litters, potency, and hormone use, as well as offers detailed information about the canine reproductive system, the complexities of the estrous cycle, the development of the pup from conception to weaning, and tips about when to call in a vet, nutrition in pregnancy, and whether or not to try artificial insemination.
