Customer Comments

This video . . . takes in the entire situation form the preparation of the area to be used - the actual births - after whelping injections at the local veterinarian, rearing of the litter and care of the mother, weaning and eventual sale of the puppies. I thoroughly recommend this production to all owners of bitches about to begin their breeding activities.
Mrs Y Sydenham-Clarke, 'Kalina' - the oldest active Samoyed kennel in the world, Ringwood Victoria, Australia
We had our first litter which wasn't planned in the fall of 2004. All were fine, thanks to all the wonderful information I received from your DVDs. We have Yorkies. Very small, but thanks to your excellent advice we had no problems. . . . We love our Yorkies and I am convinced that if we didn't have the DVD's we wouldn't have done as well. Thanks again!

Mrs Harvey's enthusiasm and knowledge should be an inspiration to all breeders, whatever their level of experience.

Khalida Cain, Littleton, Colorado, USA
It's hard to believe but 3 weeks ago today it was all action stations and truly Jane my heart felt thanks for making the (whelping) day a delight and wonder for me, my son and husband.

You have obviously put many hours into developing clear and simple videos for the serious dog breeder.

...the best and most helpful DVD that any aspiring Breeder of dogs could have in their reference library.

I have been watching your tapes over and over . . . they are excellent and have given me a lot more confidence.
Anita Johnson, West Kilbride, Scotland
I have only recently become serious about breeding show dogs and your videos are invaluable to the beginner.
Ken Johnson, Heathcote NSW, Australia
Thank you again for your priceless expertise.....how lucky am I to have stumbled across your DVDs on the internet.
Judy Wright, Houston, Texas USA
Your videos give an insight into mating and whelping that a novice such as myself would not normally get an opportunity to see.
Ann McPhee, Epping NSW, Australia
I can't tell you how thrilled I was to view your video 'HOW TO RAISE A LITTER OF PUPPIES' You are truly to be congratulated - your patience and dedication is simply outstanding'
Elizabeth Vergona, South Oakleigh, Victoria, Australia
The video was an excellent training video for me and I knew exactly what to expect with delivery etc . . I can't describe how elated I was to deliver 'Thunderheart' the first dog puppy.
Quindobe Dobermanns, Victoria, Australia
I have done quite a lot of reading on the subject, but it makes a great difference actually seeing the puppies being whelped. I had no idea they were so small and slippery, for instance, or that they needed so many towels to be dried in! The details on the colour of the discharge will also be of great help. I feel much better prepared for my role as a midwife. Thank you!
Collette Stevanovitch, Charmes, France
No effort has been spared to provide the novice breeder with what could be termed an encyclopedia of puppy rearing
Mrs G Carlos all-breeds judge, Vermont South, Victoria, Australia
The content is top class. As a long time breeder myself I thoroughly recommend it to all breeders.
Frances Sefton, former Editor "National Dog", Sydney, NSW, Australia
I thank you so much for your very informative DVD and I'm glad that I'll have it forever.

Well done! an informative and clear exposition, of particular value to inexperienced breeders, of the many procedures that can be appropriate to the successful raising of a litter of puppies.
