Descrição do livro

The professional reference serious dog breeders have been missing. Most breeder guides are either a quick beginner's pamphlet or a dense veterinary textbook with nothing in between. The Black Book of Dog Breeding was written to close that gap: a 99-chapter, evidence-tiered professional reference that follows the entire arc of responsible breeding, from the decision to breed through a lifetime of support for every puppy placed. What makes this book different Every substantive claim in this book is tagged by evidence tier—Established, Preliminary, Opinion, or Anecdotal—so you always know whether you're reading settled veterinary science, an emerging finding, expert consensus, or breeder tradition. No other breeder-facing reference is built this way. When something genuinely requires individual, current, or jurisdiction-specific confirmation, it's flagged plainly rather than buried in false certainty. Inside, across 13 parts, you'll find:

  • Foundations: breed standards, temperament heritability, pedigrees, COI, and genetic diversity
  • Reproductive physiology: the estrous cycle, ovulation timing, progesterone testing, and semen evaluation
  • Pre-breeding preparation: health screening, brucellosis testing, nutrition, and contracts
  • Pregnancy: fetal development week by week, high-risk pregnancy, and complication management
  • Whelping: the stages of labor, dystocia recognition, uterine inertia, and Cesarean decision-making
  • Neonatal care: thermoregulation, colostrum and passive immunity, hypoglycemia, and fading puppy syndrome
  • Raising the litter: the socialization window, fear periods, and temperament assessment
  • Puppy and litter health: vaccination protocols, parasite control, and common infectious disease
  • Genetics for breeders: Mendelian inheritance, polygenic traits, DNA test interpretation, and carrier-risk calculation
  • The breeding business: pricing, buyer screening, contracts, registration, and ethical marketing
  • Homing and lifetime support: matching puppies to homes, the first week, and lifetime take-back commitments
  • Advanced and critical-care breeding: singleton litters, orphan puppies, and neonatal intensive care
  • Operational topics: kennel biosecurity, loss investigation, breeding retirement, and continuity planning

Built to be used, not just read More than 20 appendices give you ready-to-use tools: contract clause checklists for purchase, stud service, co-ownership, and guardian homes; a medication recognition reference; gestation and progesterone interpretation charts; puppy evaluation sheets; an annual breeding program review dashboard; and a kennel design and daily-operations checklist. A full glossary and subject index make it fast to find what you need under pressure, not just on a first read-through. This is a reference designed to be opened at a specific problem—a stalled labor, a puppy that won't nurse, or a buyer question you weren't prepared for—and trusted, not a book you read once and shelve. Whether you're planning your first litter or your fiftieth, whether you're weighing a dystocia decision at 2 a.m. or drafting your first co-ownership agreement, this is the reference built to grow with your program.
