A Breed Guide for the Shetland Duck, With Genetic Insights is a focused, practical look at one of the rarest heritage duck breeds. Drawing on contemporary genetics, current research, and years of hands-on flock management, Dr. Kraft explores the Shetland duck’s history, breed characteristics, and relatively unfathomed genomic foundations. This guide distills years of online discussion—questions, comments, and debates from both experienced breeders and first-time seekers—into a clear, coherent resource. Whether you are just discovering Shetland ducks or refining a long-term breeding program, this book offers both an accessible introduction and a deeper dive into what modern genetics can tell us. Historic records, real-life observations, and complex genetic details are woven together in a comfortable, down-to-earth style to show how science and breeder experience can support long-term vitality, conservation goals, and sound, practical breeding decisions. By the end, you’ll have a detailed appreciation for the breed, and be better equipped to plan matings, evaluate stock, and make decisions that serve both your flock and the future of the Shetland duck.
