Synopsis
Breeding A Litter begins with some practical considerations for those thinking of breeding and includes in-depth information about the bitch's anatomy and physiology. There is also guidance on choosing the right stud dog, as well as a step-by-step guide to mating. The book continues with expert advice on caring for the pregnant bitch. Whelping is covered in an easy-to-follow, step-by-step guide, and includes suggestions on what to do if things do not progress as planned. Finally, Breeding A Litter explains how to care for the bitch and the puppies immediately after whelping up to the point when the pups are ready to leave for their new homes. There is a special chapter devoted to the importance of socialization during this period, and advice on how to ensure you can meet these needs. Whether you are facing the unexpected pregnancy of your pet or expecting a litter as part of a carefully planned breeding programme, this book is the only book you need.

I read the book after getting the Book of the bitch and it contains lot of simmilar information and graphics (same author). It has got some additional information, but I definately would choose Book of the bitch especially for a novice in breeding.
