| the complete book of dog breeding: A Matter of Breeding Michael Brandow, 2015-02-03 A provocative look at the ‘cult of pedigree’ and an entertaining social history of purebred dogs—“a must-read for all dog lovers” (Booklist). So-called “purebreds” are the mainstay of the dog industry. Expert Michael Brandow argues these aren’t time-honored traditions—but rather commercial inventions of the 19th century that were marketed as status symbols to a growing middle class. Combining social history and consumer studies with sharp commentary, this reveals the sordid history of the dog industry and shows how our brand-name pets pay the price with devastatingly poor health. It includes chapters devoted to popular breeds such as: • Golden Retrievers • Boston Terriers • English Bulldogs • Labrador Retrievers An essential read for animal lovers and animal rights activists everywhere, A Matter of Breeding is a fresh take on the history pedigree dogs and encourages us to love all our furry friends—no matter the coat color or price tag. “If you’re considering welcoming a dog (or two) into your family, read Michael Brandow’s fascinating and eye-opening book before visiting a pet store or breeder.” —Betsy Banks Saul, founder of Petfinder.com |

| the complete book of dog breeding: The Invention of the Modern Dog Michael Worboys, Julie-Marie Strange, Neil Pemberton, 2018-10-15 The story of the thoroughly Victorian origins of dog breeds. For centuries, different types of dogs were bred around the world for work, sport, or companionship. But it was not until Victorian times that breeders started to produce discrete, differentiated, standardized breeds. In The Invention of the Modern Dog, Michael Worboys, Julie-Marie Strange, and Neil Pemberton explore when, where, why, and how Victorians invented the modern way of ordering and breeding dogs. Though talk of breed was common before this period in the context of livestock, the modern idea of a dog breed defined in terms of shape, size, coat, and color arose during the Victorian period in response to a burgeoning competitive dog show culture. The authors explain how breeders, exhibitors, and showmen borrowed ideas of inheritance and pure blood, as well as breeding practices of livestock, horse, poultry and other fancy breeders, and applied them to a species that was long thought about solely in terms of work and companionship. The new dog breeds embodied and reflected key aspects of Victorian culture, and they quickly spread across the world, as some of Britain’s top dogs were taken on stud tours or exported in a growing international trade. Connecting the emergence and development of certain dog breeds to both scientific understandings of race and blood as well as Britain’s posture in a global empire, The Invention of the Modern Dog demonstrates that studying dog breeding cultures allows historians to better understand the complex social relationships of late-nineteenth-century Britain. |
| the complete book of dog breeding: What Is a Dog? Raymond Coppinger, Lorna Coppinger, 2016-04-27 Exploring the natural history of these creatures, the Coppingers explain how the village dogs of Vietnam, India, Africa, and Mexico are strikingly similar. These feral dogs, argue the Coppingers, are in fact the real representative dogs, nearly uniform in size and shape and incredibly self-sufficient. Drawing on nearly five decades of research, they show how dogs actually domesticated themselves in order to become such sufficient scavengers of human refuse. The Coppingers also examine the behavioral characteristics that enable dogs to live successfully and to reproduce, unconstrained by humans, in environments that we ordinarily do not think of as dog- friendly.--From publisher description. |

| the complete book of dog breeding: Puppy Intensive Care - A Breeder's Guide To Care Of Newborn Puppies Myra Savant-Harris, 2006-07-11 Breeders can save puppy lives! Learn to use the same techniques that medical hospitals use on human newborns to save the lives of puppies. Because many of the problems encountered in newborn pups have nothing to do with genetics or birth defects, it is important for the breeder to be prepared to administer simple, straightforward measures to help a puppy in distress. Puppy Intensive Care book and video will teach you exactly what you need to do, how to do it, and when to do it. Author and dog breeder Myra Savant-Harris applies her experience from more than 20 years of labor and delivery and neonatal nursing to caring for newborn puppies. She gives you this information in friendly, non-technical language, as one dog breeder to another. She knows what it’s like to be the only chance this puppy has to survive. You will learn: - How to evaluate the status of a newborn puppy before taking action - How to warm a chilled pup, administer oxygen and hydration - What the best way is to replace colostrum if the mom can't provide it - What equipment to have on hand, where to buy it and how to use it BONUS! Includes a video link so you can see exactly how to use these life-saving skills. What the experts have to say about Puppy Intensive Care: I learned many useful points from Savant-Harris' book. Whether you are a novice breeder or have been breeding for years, this book has at least a few ideas you haven't thought about. From her great warming box concept to correct suctioning, from the availability of frozen colostrum to the Whelping Nest, Puppy Intensive Care is a definite pick for the litter. Pat Hastings, Breeder, Judge, Lecturer and Author of Tricks of the Trade. A must-read for those who plan to breed, whelp and raise pups. She not only covers the basics of care for the newborn, she also walks you through the important steps necessary to maintain their health and development. Her many descriptive statements of things to notice and what to look for in the normal pup and the one in trouble is something every breeder needs to know. Read it before your next litter is born. Carmen Battaglia, Breeder, AKC Board Member, Lecturer, Author From typical but exciting puppyhoods to incidents that promote heart-pounding fear, this book covers the expected and the unusual day-to-day nursery care. An instructional DVD is included showing breeders the proper methods for giving oxygen, subcutaneous injections, tube feeding and more. This book belongs on every serious breeder's bookshelf. Chris Walkowicz, Breeder, Judge, DWAA Past President, Author of Successful Dog Breeding This book on intensive care of puppies provides practical and very useful information to ensure that newborns stay healthy and thrive. W. Jean Dodds, DVM, President, Hemopet Myra Savant-Harris, R.N. is a breeder of Cavalier King Charles Spaniels who wished there was a book like Puppy Intensive Care at the time she started breeding dogs.

In addition to continuing work as an R.N., Myra gives seminars around the country on her methods and is currently at work on her next book about reproduction and whelping. Besides her interest in breeding dogs, Myra is an accomplished pianist and vocalist and lives in Tacoma, Washington with her husband Doug Harris and Cavaliers. Click here to view an excerpt. What reviewers are saying... MID-ATLANTIC BORDER COLLIE RESCUE I found this book to be wonderfully straight forward and potentially very useful. If I were planning a litter of puppies, I would want to have this book and would plan to be able to implement almost all of her strategies. I appreciate the fact that she tells you in the very beginning that all puppies cannot be saved a very realistic basis from which to progress and then presents techniques covering every contingency in order that you can give saving all of them your best try. Ms. Savant-Harris carefully lists ALL of the things you could need, and even better, tells you where to get them. It would be most wonderful to not need the information the author gives us, but having this book and the supplies close at hand would provide a very helpful safety net. The DVD clearly illustrates the topics covered in the book. I definitely plan to buy this book as I harbor the hope of having another litter someday. Barbara Starkey,MABCR Vice-President MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW Black-and-white photographs illustrate Puppy Intensive Care: A Breeder's Guide to Care of Newborn Puppies is an in-depth how-to manual written especially for breeders, though aspiring veterinarians may also find it a useful reference. Chapters discuss in depth how to prepare and use all the tools that one needs to give a puppy the best possible chance of survival, even if it is born midnight on a weekend or holiday when the local vet's office is closed. Statistically, roughly thirty percent of puppies born die in infancy; with the proper equipment and knowledge to remedy environmental factors (as opposed to genetic factors, about which little can be done) this can ideally be reduced to ten percent. Chapters cover how to build and maintain a warming box, how to properly use a bulb syringe on newborn puppies, umbilical cord care, why puppies must ingest colostrum (an immunity boosting substance produced by the mother) or a suitable substitute early on, how to treat a sick newborn pup if veterinary care is not immediately available, remedying a puppy that becomes chilled or dehydrated, and much more. If your puppy isn't breathing well, assume that he has large amounts of body fluid in his lungs, throat and nasal passages... FIRST, use the bulb syringe on the back of the throat; NEVER suction the nostrils before the throat. Syringing the nostrils first will cause the puppy to take a breath, inhaling fluids into his lungs. A 30-minute DVD accompanies this absolute must-have for anyone expecting a litter of puppies.
