Book of the Bitch

Product Information

THE BOOK OF BITCH is an unapologetic, illustrated A to Z guide for those reclaiming and celebrating their inner bitch. Fortunately the book was not damaged but in my opinion the envelope used wasn't fit for purpose and appeared to be the cheapest one they could get away with using. I’d argue that if you scare the living daylights out of a person, they’ll probably do as you say, but they’ll despise you for it.

Written by experts, this book is intended for both the experienced breeder and the novice bitch owner, and also serves as a comprehensive guide for those considering owning a bitch. So far it has helped us through Lex's first season and false pregnancy giving us the facts and tips for minimising any problems. In the book, I’d say 80% is with a mind to breeding, so it might be more of a read-it-donate-it purchase for new owners of bitches, but as a potential breeder it’s definitely a mandatory purchase. A poor condition book can still make a good reading copy but is generally not collectible unless the item is very scarce. The procedures for whelping and puppy rearing is carefully explained and detailed advice is given on the diseases to which bitches are prone.

Nothing could have prepared me for moving from dogs, which I'd owned exclusively for nee on thirty years, to bitches better than this book. My bitch did everything according to the book and so all my whelping kit, spare bottles and other paraphernalia are all lying unopened in a box apart from the stethoscope which I used to try and listen to the puppies heart beats when they were still in her.

It was indeed full of useful information although somewhat dated now the essential do and don'ts are there. They don't filter themselves for the comfort of others and they don't give a single damn about meeting societal expectations.

Whether or not you intend to breed, the more that you understand about how bitches function, think and learn, the more pleasure she is likely to give you and the happier and healthier she will be. Written by experts, J M Evans, an internationally respected vet and Kay White, a journalist and author, this book is relevant to both the experienced breeder and the novice bitch owner.

Everything from going into season, mating, whelping and finally bringing up the puppies is really helpful. Particularly helpful for anyone planning a litter as there is lots of information on breeding, Whelping and puppy care. If you’re planning on getting a dog (in this passage, it really doesn’t matter if it’s a dog or a bitch), you’ll want every member of the household to agree to pre-approved rules for the dog’s behaviour. All used books might have various degrees of writing, highliting and wear and tear and possibly be an ex-library with the usual stickers and stamps.

Whether or not you intend to breed, the more you understand about how bitches function, think and learn, the more pleasure your bitch is likely to give you and the happier and healthier she will be. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. When one of our pups was stillborn I was able to revive her and had the knowledge to rear a healthy pup after reading up on this particular section of the book. So, when it comes to the hormonal stuff and how to cope with pregnancy and whelping (the birthing of the pups), this is *the* guide.
