From Library Journal Here are two down-to-earth selections on dog ownership and breeding. Lib., Rochester, N.Y.Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc. The authors don't mince words, and both books emphasize the responsibilities of the dog owner/breeder. The authors, a successful breeder and a veterinarian, realistically point out the things that can and will go wrong and emphasize that the breeder's responsibility does not end when the pups are sold. In Successful Dog Breeding , Walkowicz and Wilcox stress that by electing to breed a dog, the owner is making a commitment that lasts the lifetime of the offspring.

Both books, written in a light conversational style with just enough personal anecdotes to make them fun to read, are recommended for public libraries.- Deborah Eme
