Reader ReviewsBreeding A Litter If you ever plan on breeding a litter or even if you have one by mistake, this book has some valuable information. I breed toy poodles and have found this book very useful. Along with advice from a good veterinarian, some background information on genetics, and a solid understanding of the AKC breed standards and you should be ready to go. It's not easy and it may take a lot of work, and there is definitely no money in it, but if you're truly trying to Improve the breed it can be a lot of fun. Highly recommended for anyone who breeds a litter. Gunner November, 2007
