Hi there

We are on day 50ish! .........can anyone recommend a good book with pictures maybe? I "borrowed" one last time but can't for the life of me remember the title.............I do already have the Book of The Bitch!

Thanks in advance

Breeding a litter by J.M Evans... naturally is very similar to the BOTB but nevertheless very good. Also, cannot be without Puppy Intensive Care By Myra Savant-Harris. It contains all the information on how to save a puppy in dire circumstances

I know you are asking for books but this website is very helpful too http://www.debbiejensen.com/

My favourite book of all time is Dog Breeding For Professionals.  Trouble is, last time I recommended it, the person could only find it in the states.

It came out in the 70's when I bred my first litter.  I found it very helful indeed.  I know that feeding has changed a lot over the years, but giving birth doesn't change much!  It has a section on delivering malpresentations, and has been tremendously helpful over the years.

I remember, at the time, thinking it was expensive, but it was probably peanuts in comparison to todays prices.  I actually picked it up at The Three Counties annual show, at one of the specialist book stalls.

I have TBOTB like most on here, and other good whelping books, but the old one is still my favourite.

I have that website bookmarked!!!! but thanks anyway

Amazon have a 2ndhand copy with a seller in the UK so I've ordered it!

Thank you Tanya for your recommendations too......

"the book of the bitch" By J.M Evans & Kay White is my bible with it comes to things like this. I swear that £9.95 book has saved puppies and me hundreds.
