Publisher's Note
If you breed dogs for any reason, you must own this book. Genetic diseases are among the most serious hazards on the landscape of modern dog breeding and one of the most vexing challenges facing today's dog breeders. Is it appropriate to open the gene pool to unwanted conditions in the pursuit of physical perfection, or must breeding to the Standard take a back seat to producing healthy animals?

In Control of Canine Genetic Diseases, renowned authority George A. Padgett, DVM, provides an expert road map to help dog breeders everywhere avoid the pitfalls they are almost destined to encounter. For anyone whose goal is to produce healthy, functional and beautiful dogs, this is the book they need. Dr. Padgett provides clear explanations of modes of inheritance, how to conduct and analyze test matings and how to lower the chances of producing affected animals. Numerous tables, diagrams and graphs further enhance the text to facilitate the breeder's understanding.
A Howell Dog Book of Distinction

    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!!!
