| For the Serious Breeder, September 17, 2006 |
| Reviewer: Bonnie Harris |
| Not for someone looking for the 'mechanics' of breeding a litter. Most long-time breeders will enjoy the new ways of looking at their obsession and probably be delighted to find that they already incorporate at least some of them. Not a light read. |
