BUILDING A WORLD OF BETTER BREEDERS

How can anyone take a highly sophisticated, scientific and technical subject like genetics and make it not only easy to understand but even fun ? Dr. Carmen Battaglia has been doing just that for the past 25 years to the amazement and delight of the dog-breeding world. He calls it "Breeding Better Dogs". The material he developed provides breeders with an easy method for understanding the pedigrees of their dogs. It is based on the use of the "Stick Dog" figures, which offers a new way to visually represent the strengths and weaknesses of a dog's traits. By utilizing this simple method, it is easy to determine the characteristics needed for a stud dog.

Now you can learn how to enhance the genetic qualities of your bloodline. The result - an ever improving program that can produce dogs that WIN !
