Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending a wonderful seminar......"The ABC's of Dog Breeding" by Claudia Orlandi, PhD.......Claudia was the 2009 AKC breeder of the year, and also heads up member education for the Basset Hound Club of America......I would highly recommend this seminar to newbies, and old time breeders alike....If you can't get to the seminar, I would also suggest her book that accompanies the seminar....which is a home study program for dog breeders......really, really good.
