Everyone contemplating breeding and whelping litters should keep this trusty guide on hand." — W. Jean Dodds, DVM, Santa Monica, CA "Leila Grandemange is absolutely right when she states that responsible breeders need to keep good records. This book should provide just the right vehicle for doing that!" — Patricia V. Trotter, author “Born To Win” "A Breeder’s Companion is an invaluable resource for conscientious breeders, both new and experienced. The multiple record keeping chart and practical information will be a go-to resource each time you are blessed with a litter of puppies." —Jamie Adkins, DVM "In A Breeder’s Companion, Leila Grandemange has put together an excellent handbook which will be of great assistance to both novice and experienced breeders alike. Step by step she goes through various stages of whelping a litter while providing charts to note the details. Having seen the benefits of recording our litters for over 35 years, I feel this is indeed a most useful and essential workbook for any dedicated breeder." —Dennis Homes, breeder-judge, author About the Author Leila Grandemange is a freelance writer, poet, and the author of several charming books.
