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.

• 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!

• 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
