If you breed dogs for any reason, you must own
this book. Genetic diseases are among the most serious hazards on the landscape
of modern dog breeding and one of the most vexing challenges facing today's dog
breeders. Is it appropriate to open the gene pool to unwanted conditions in the
pursuit of physical perfection, or must breeding to the Standard take a back
seat to producing healthy animals?
In Control of Canine Genetic Diseases,
renowned authority George A. Padgett, DVM, provides an expert road map to help
dog breeders everywhere avoid the pitfalls they are almost destined to
encounter. For anyone whose goal is to produce healthy, functional and beautiful
dogs, this is the book they need. Dr. Padgett provides clear explanations of
modes of inheritance, how to conduct and analyze test matings and how to lower
the chances of producing affected animals. Numerous tables, diagrams and graphs
further enhance the text to facilitate the breeder's understanding.
