Customer Review: The Joy of Breeding Your Own Show Dog
This book contained 100 pages of manuscript on whelping and breeding and care of neonates by Terri Shumsky. People who can no longer get this book should check out Terri Shumsky's HOW TO BUY AND RAISE A GOOD HEALTHY DOG, which contains all the same information given to Ann Seranne PLUS lots more. Here's what Boxer Review said about Terri Shumsky's book. The Book Shelf How to Buy and Raise a Good Healthy Dog is mostly about breeding and raising a dog. It contains one chapter on the buying of a dog, one chapter on general health care (covering about 65 pages) and three appendixes on genetics, food and nutrition and microchips. "This is another Doral publication which was written by breeder and judge Terri Shumsky. The illustrations are effective particularly in regard to the birthing process. As a matter of fact, the information given in the "Having Puppies" chapter is exceptional and useful for both the novice and experienced breeder. I think that the information on general health care is quite sufficient for most dog owners. Other books which have been reviewed in this column (The Merck Veterinary Manual,Hands-On Dog Care, The Purina Encyclopedia of Dog Care and the Five Minute Veterinary Ready Reference) are perhaps too extensive for most health questions. Shumsky's book fills a niche of providing just about enough information."
