So what's the big deal about breeding purebreds?

Not quite. Simply breeding dogs takes considerable space, time, and capital. Consistently breeding mentally and physically sound purebreds, on the other hand, is a labor of love that involves all of the above and a whole lot more. If you really love dogs then you need to consult with an expert on the many responsibilities, rules, and regulations dog breeding entails before you take the leap. And that's where "Breeding Dogs For Dummies" comes in.

Topics covered in detail include: selecting breeding stock and keeping track of breed types; understanding purebred genetics and genotype characteristics; finding and selecting the right stud dog and brood bitch; prenatal care, whelping, and raising puppies; running a successful dog breeding business including tips on budgeting, taxes, registration, charting, planning litters, transactions, sales contracts, and more.
