BREEDING DOGS TO WIN
Breeding better dogs and those that can win has been part of mankind’s history for a long time. In fact, it probably started when dogs began to evolve many millennia ago. Because dogs are biological mechanisms, as are humans and all other living things, they are subject to change. In genetics they refer to it as mutations. Thus it is fair to say that among the most fascinating subjects found in the world of dogs, none have been more interesting than those related to the breeding of purebred dogs that have specific traits, temperaments, colors, sizes and shapes. The more than 350 recognized breeds attest to the scope of this subject. Common to these ventures has been a wide array of authors who have offered their ideas about breeding based primarily on experience. This text is different from others in that it devotes extensive attention to experience and research which has produced new and better insights on this subject.
