CONTROL OF CANINE GENETIC DISEASES by George A. Padgett, DVM
Dr. Padgett's book is wonderful. It's details and encompasses the canine genetic diseases that are a serious danger to our canine gene pools. I had the opportunity to attend one of Dr. Padgett's seminars in March 2000 on controlling some of these genetic disease through his formulations of mode of inhertitance and interpretation and use of pedigrees to determine the probable mode of inhertidance of any given trait. This book is not for the novice dog owner who does not intend to breed, but if you are serious about breeding quality dogs and reducing the proability of genetic health problem it is a must read. Learn to calculate the inbreeding co-effient of your line and also do a genetic pedigree to find the carrier(s) of a genetic defect(s) in your lines. The book also includes a genetic disease predispoposition by breed which is very intereting. A moderate to high level of genetics is recommended. Dr. Padgett passed away but I was able to have my copy signed by the author after the conclusion of his seminar. A very interesting and enjoyable educational book. Terrific and Educational!!!
