Very indepth

A highly complicated but essential book for the experienced & avid dog breeder. A wealth of knowledge in this one.

Truly useful in breeding, because it is readable.

This readable work gathers the research, theories and opinions of his predecessors and presents his own opinions as well, giving arguments on both sides. Sections on determination of coat color were especially thoroughly done, relying heavily on Little's work, though differing sharply on a couple of points.
