A practical and up-to-date guide to canine reproduction for dog breeders, veterinary students and veterinary surgeons. Written in an easy-to-use style and presented in a practically useful format with clear illustrations.  The information is supported by references from the author's published work and his wealth of clinical experience to form the important authoritative text in this field.  A vital aid to those seeking an understanding of normal and abnormal reproduction as well as common reproductive techniques.



Gary England is a veterinarian specialising in animal reproduction who has worked in clinical practice and research of dog breeding for 25 years. He is Professor of Comparative Veterinary Reproduction at the University of Nottingham and has published more than 100 scientific articles and numerous book chapters and reviews in the area. He is Diplomate of the American College of Theriogenology and the European College of Animal Reproduction, as well as being an RCVS Recognised Specialist in Veterinary Reproduction. Drawing on his extensive research and clinical experience, this book represents his view of the subject area, and includes references to his own peer-reviewed publications demonstrating the impact of his contribution to the field.
