Other Breeds
Other large breeds can apply almost all the
principles described in this book and the
advice given can be of immense value.
Breeding German Shepherd Dogs can be rewarding,
but requires commitment and a thorough evaluation
of all available options
Many a beginner has discovered the hard way that
breeding is far more than mating a dog and a bitch and
selling the puppies; and that mistakes can be expensive. It
is far better (and cheaper) to learn from someone else
with a proven track record.
In this informative book, drawing from 25 years of practical
experience, the authors concisely and clearly set out all
the aspects of being a successful breeder: from selecting
the parents through to caring for the pregnant bitch,
managing the whelping, rearing the puppies, as well as
marketing and selling them to the right homes.
