Great book with excellent content
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Dr. Grossman writes a very thorough book that is filled with good content. Many things that we know but need to be reminded and many things that are new (at least to me). Really enjoyed reading his work. Helped focus my objectives on how to begin a successful breeding/showing program.
Will prove to be of immense value to breeders

Dr. Grossman combines the artistic principle of 'having an eye for a dog' with sound scientific principles of breeding and genetics which will prove to be of immense value to both the first time breeder and the successful breeder of many champions
There are many dog books,few great ones,this is one of them

Dr. Grossman doesn't write mundanely.It is certainly one of this and the past decades most important books. He presents facts in an exciting light as in his discussion of Mendel's work in applying genetics to dog breeding
The underlying advice is undisputable
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
I particularly recommend the thorough reading and appreciation of the first chapter. Those who have sufficient experience will appreciate and endorse the many points which are made upon the early stages of ownership and the requirements of breeding.
