The best book on dogs I've read. All about genetics.
If you haven't read this book and you think you are a serious dog trainer, breeder, handler, helper or anything to do with dogs then you should. It all starts here.
foundational finding for any dog person. Includes puppy evaluating -stages of puppy development. Big impression. Highly recommended.
