“Royal Canin Practical Guide to Dog Breeding” , another that goes into breeding and whelping in greater depth; “How to Behave So Your Dog Behaves” , Sophia Yin’s book that makes raising and training a dog easy; “Congratulations! It’s a Dog!” , my book that makes raising and training a dog easy; “Control of Canine Genetic Disease” , despite the plethora of dog genetics books, most are either outdated or too com- plex (i.e. Ruvinsky and Sampson’s Genetics of the Dog or Ostrander et al’s The Dog and its Genome). Padgett’s book is a good compromise but admittedly dry reading! “Popula- tion and Evolutionary Genetics (Ayala)” , not a dog book, but an invaluable resource for understanding genetics. “Best in Show (Bengtson)” , you are a link in the chain. Respect it; “The Lost History of the Canine Race”, because it’s fun; “Solving the Mysteries of Breed Type” , because you should have read it long before contemplating breeding. Every breed book ever published on your breed, especially those empha- sizing history or function! – Caroline Coile
“Born to Win”, by Pat Craig Trotter –Melinda Sunnarborg
