Specialized print reference books

Pond, Wilson. Encyclopedia of Animal Science. 1st ed. 2005.

This enormous book is a great source of information - it's not specific to dog breeding, but the information in this book applies to many animals. It has information on topics ranging from animal breeding information to animal care to advances in the technology used to breed and take care of animals. This reference book would be a good resource for students in veterinary medicine or animal husbandry, but also worth a read for people looking for information on dog breeding simply because it has such a large section devoted to animal breeding technology.

Savant-Harris, Myra. Canine Reproduction And Whelping: A Dog Breeder's Guide.

The author, Myra Savant-Harris, was a registered nurse with years of experience before becoming a dog breeder. This book is a good source for dog breeders: it goes into detail on how to select the dogs for breeding right up to delivering the puppies themselves. This is an informative guide on literally breeding dogs.
