Breeding Your Dog:
Canine Reproduction and Whelping and Puppy Intensive Care
by Myra Savant Harris
Myra Savant-Harris is a Registered Nurse and has many years of work in the areas of labour/delivery and neonatal intensive care. When Myra started breeding Cavaliers, at her kennel Garden Gate Cavaliers, there were no resourses on how to "get bitches in whelp, keep them in whelp, deliver puppies safely and keep them alive."

So, Myra researched the area and wrote a book; Canine Reproduction and Whelping. Then she wrote another book; Puppy Intensive Care. Now Myra travels all across the United States and Canada giving seminars to breeders who need to learn how to keep their breeding bitches and dogs reproductively healthy and keep their puppies alive.

I strongly urge all dog clubs to seriously consider inviting Myra to give her seminar for your membership. Her costs are extremely low and the information you will learn will save the lives of your bitches and puppies!
