You will want to understand the process of canine breeding and the whelping of your future litters. As whelping time draws close, the best thing to have around is a good friend and fellow-breeder who is experienced! And puppies have been whelped successfully "over the telephone," although that's not the recommended method! If you don't have an experienced midwife at hand, then we can't recommend these next titles too highly. Even if you are going to have help with your first litter, you'll feel more comfortable if you prepare by watching and reading.

STRUCTURE IN ACTION - THE MAKINGS OF A DURABLE DOG
by Pat Hastings with Wendy E. Wallace, DVM cVA and Erin Rouse
Item: DAN125
Many people probably think that all the fuss that breeders and fanciers make over their purebred dogs—how they look, how they move—is unnecessary. Why do the teeth need to be just so? Why does a judge do such a thorough hands-on evaluation of twenty dogs that to most of us look so much alike? The answer lies in the fact that purebred dogs are bred for a specific purpose and that the structure of the dog impacts its ability to do what it has been bred for be it retrieving game, guarding livestock, tracking lost people, or pulling sleds full of supplies to a snowed-in village.

SHOW DOG - THE CHARMED LIFE AND TRYING TIMES OF A NEAR-PERFECT PUREBRED
by Josh Dean
Item: DSH175
The book follows Jack as he matures over the course of a year, from still-improving adolescent to seasoned adult show dog. We get to know him and the people around him--his owner, his handler, his breeder--to experience what it's like to own a show dog and to train one. And we come to appreciate him for what he is, a lovable and intelligent house pet--albeit one with a highly unusual occupation.
Along the way, Dean takes a close look at the eccentric and fascinating world of breeders and dog show fanciers--exploring the history and science of purebred dog breeding and the evolution of canine perfection via dog show culture, with that pursuit's many related peculiarities: judging, training, naming, promoting, hairstyling, kennel-owning, RV-driving, hotel-finding, treat-selecting, and more.
