The genetics of the dog

This comprehensive reference book contains the latest research and information on dog genetics. No similar book is currently available - this is the first high level research work on the topic. Written by the leading authorities in the field from Europe, the USA, Russia and Australia

...the book, maintains the uniform high standard, in word and presentation, of previous volumes

Journal of Genetics, April 2002 -

The book fills a gap of information, available for other species, of utmost importance for improvements in canine reproduction, genetics and selection. Richly illustrated, this textbook represents a very complete source of compiled reference material useful for biologists, animal scientists, veterinarians and professional dog breeders.

Reproduction in Domestic Animals, February 2003 -

A good first stop for veterinarians interested in any aspect of canine genetics.
