“Canine Reproduction and Whelping brings together information that is invaluable for today’s dog breeder. Author Myra Savant Harris combines her years of experience as a labor and delivery and neonatal care nurse with her passion for breeding dogs to give you practical, useful and unusual information.

Learn how facts about human reproduction, conception and birth can get confused with the very different biology and physiology of the dog. Learn how fragile sperm truly are, when artificial insemination is preferred, and about the unseen causes of unsuccessful breedings. Based on her successful workshops, Myra teaches the reader how to  have successful breedings and healthier pups. Canine Reproduction will give you new perspectives on the art of dog breeding.
