If breeding is indeed a natural phenomenon (and we all surely will agree that it is), why should man interfere with the normal breeding instincts of his dog?  Obviously, one reason is to avoid untimely or unwanted pregnancies, but oftentimes we also want to selectively breed for certain desirable traits and avoid those characteristics that breeders deem undesirable.  Many of the various dog breeds we enjoy today have developed only after hundreds of years of selective breeding.  This book describes the key requirements for successful breeding, including:

* Selection of Parents

*Required Quarters

* Diet and Feeding Schedule

*Exercise and Rest
