Prydenjoy Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I was wondering if everyone could share with me their favorite website for beginner breeders? And books, as well, I love books Nothing too basic, but I'd like information on pregnancy care, puppy delivery, what can go wrong etc. Papillon or toy breed specific would be great, but I'm sure there are a lot of great general websites as well.

dancinbcs Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 No idea on websites but a book all breeders should have is this one Available from Dogs NSW The best way to learn though is to have an experienced breeder work as your mentor for at least the first couple of litters.

Baileys mum Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 "Book Of the Bitch" A complete guide to understanding & caring for Bitches By J.M. Evans & Kay white IMO I believe this is a must have for any beginner breeder..I have found it very helpful. Other books I have found helpful & that are in my bookcase are- "Successful Dog Breeding" The complete handbook of Canine Midwifery By Chris Walkowicz & Bonnie Wilcox, D.V.M. "The Whelping & Rearing of Puppies" A complete & practical guide By Muriel P. Lee All 3 books are usually easily found on Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prydenjoy Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 Thanks Amanda, will look into it! Between Uni assignments, my breeders prefix exam, and pregnancy and whelping research, I've been a very busy girl lately!
