      Overview

      The goal of this book is to provide practical, usable information. It explains, defines, describes, and offers guidelines. It is not an academic text, but a handbook—a how-to book. The information contained herein is gleaned from a lifetime of personal involvement with dogs and dog breeding. The most current veterinary literature on the subject was reviewed as this book was written.
