Breeders Books

This book is the best you will find for any breeder. Whenever I have a problem or question any situation related to breeding and whelping I'll rely on this book to help me

Over the last ten years, my husband and I have had several Boston Terrier litters, each time we not only consulted this book, but have read it from cover to cover multiple times. Each time we seemed to learn a new technique or lesson. This book takes you from a natural conception to an artifical conception to whelping naturally to c-sections. We saved many babies because of the author's ability to write exactly what needed to be done to tube feed, bottle feed or keep the baby warm. This book is a MUST for any breeder

This is a WONDERFUL book! It covers more than any other book on reproduction, and I won't have a litter without it by my side. I have read all the others, and they sit in my library. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS OUT OF PRINT! It is such a GREAT book! Get it if you can, wherever you can, if you ever plan to breed. What COMPLETE information, for ALL breeds.

It was so nice to actually find written work on the Morab breed. The author has done his homework, and the history of the breed is well-researched. I enjoyed reading it, and feel even more proud to be a Morab owner. There are pedigrees, black and white and color photos, plus information on some Morab breeders and their breeding programs. Club information is also included in source information. Recommended to the Morab owner, or anyone just curious about the breed!

Morab Moments was a tough book to write but it captured everything people were asking me as questions and then some. I ship within 2 days of receiving the Amazon notice of sale.

This is the seminal book of the Morab breed of horse, including its origins, history of the various registries, current breeding farms, and stories by individuals about their beloved Morabs. There is specific information about the organization of the International Morab Breeders Association, as well as a glossary of terms and other technical aspects of horsemanship of interest to all horse people.

Dr. Vanderlip's book is just what the collie fancy needs - a scientifically sound book that covers the genetics of color, coat and most importantly, disease inheritance in the collie. She has done the collie breed a service by discussing collie-specific conditions in one reader-friendly reference. I'm looking forward to the revised edition!

This excellent book, written by a world renowned collie breeder and canine reproductive specialist, is a treat from start to finish. Dr. Vanderlip knows from where she speaks, having bred International Collie Champions and exported Collies worldwide. The section on color inheritance is the best in print today. The section on medical and genetic problems is very well done with photos to illustrate the text. The multi-page bibliography is one of the finest I`ve ever seen, opening up a whole new reference to enable the reader to research areas of interest further. The depth of this book shouldn`t be underestimated and having a copy on the shelf to refer to is a pleasure and a delight. This is the only veterinary reference book on Collies that I know of.

I purchased this book in my research for information before purchasing my first snake with my grandson. This book is a MUST for anyone looking for information on care, feeding, housing, breeding and anything else about corn snakes. After reading this book I purchased our first corn snake from the author. It answered just about all of my questions and the author helped me with everything else so I was really prepared when our snake arrived. Interesting book even if you don't own a snake!

This is, quite simply, the best book on corn snakes in print. I'm astonished that Amazon seems not to have it in stock (as of Jan. 06). Don't be deceived by the series title (Professional Breeders)--this is a book that all corn snake owners (or prospective owners) should have, including those who have no interest in breeding methods (although the breeding section does a better job of describing the various morphs to prospective buyers than any other corn snake book I've seen). The author--Don Soderberg, one of the most prominent breeders in the field--walks the prospective owner through the process of preparing for and buying a corn snake in great detail--I can't think of anything that has been missed here. Every contingency (including illness and escape) has been covered, and even experienced owners will find this volume to be useful. A good example is the author's discussion of vivarium temperatures. Most corn snake books (and online resources) simply say there should be an 85* warm side and a 75* cool side. But rarely do these sources say where the temperature reading should be taken--and when they do, they often provide contradictory, or illogical advice. This volume not only provides a detailed explanation for how to establish temperatures in your vivarium, it also provides a strong argument for why such a method is best. After spending six months reading everything I could find on corn snake care before purchasing my first snake, I have found this book to be more useful than anything else I have looked at.

Great Breeders like the Hancocks are truly legendary men, whose impact on Thoroughbred racing and breeding will continue to be felt well into this millenium. The insights into their selection of breeding stock and successful development of continuing sire lines should be studied by all breeders and horse owners. Their firm beliefs in how to breed classic winning horses has stood the tests of time. If more people studied their priorities and methods, the days of a trend toward more 2YO and sprint racing could be reversed. Their ability to breed horses that could run distances at 10f and up at 3, remain sound, and pass their excellence to later generations. There is a tradition at Claiborne to put each new stallion in the stall of his sire(upon the sire's death), with the brass nameplates of former occupants. I will never forget visiting Secretariat only 2 years from his death and looking at his stall. Above his name was Nasrullah, Bold Ruler, and Secretariat(Risen Star followed). Horses whose influence, along with another Claiborne stallion, Mr. Prospector, are still infuencing racing through the excellence of their grandsons and granddaughters. This book is full of history, theory, practices, family issues, and fully defines the title of Great Breeders.

We continue to be completely satisfied with the excellent service we receive through Amazon.com and its affiliates. Everything is sent quickly (usually ahead of the estimated delivery date), cleanly, in excellent condition, and exactly as advertised. Thank all those involved with this process.

This book was written to meet the needs of the market place where some of those unique horse problems occur. This book will help you deal with problems dealing with laws, taxes, and solving them in a straightford way.

Avoiding legal and tax problems are important aspects of every horse business. This book, written by an attorney with input from many horsepersons, trainers, attorneys, equine instructors and CPAs, fully explains what a horse business must do to ensure that their business is not ruled a hobby. He fully explains recordkeeping, tax laws, legal considerations including liability and insurance, contracts and even estate planning. Sample forms for sales, leases, breeding and syndications are included. I can't recommend strongly enough that you obtain a copy of this book if you have or wish to start a horse business. You can't afford to run your business or talk to the IRS without this information.

This book is a very accurate history of the Brahman cattle in the US. I would recomment it to anyone who would like to know more about Brahman cattle and the history of it's association.

This is a great little starter book for someone who is interested in ball pythons. For those more into the hobby, this is an excerpt from Kevin's larger book, The Complete Ball Python. Serious hobbyists should forget this version and buy the Complete Ball Python instead.

MOST BOOKS THAT I FOUND THOUGHOUT THE BOOKSTORES ARE BRIEF AND BASICALLY COVERS THE FROSTING ON A CAKE. I FOUND THIS BOOK TO BE VERY DETAILED AND TO THE POINT. IT CONTAINED INFORMATION THAT WAS UNAVAILABLE ELSEWHERE. IT IS HANDY AND I WILL USE IT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

This book is great for those who own a rottweiler. It gives important information on the breed and should be a part of anyones library that owns a rottweiler. It can help all those with questions about the breed. Glad to have been able to read and review this book.
