Good news for all serious fanciers 5 out of 5 stars.
27 of 27 people found this review helpful.

The authors of Robinsons' Genetics for Cat Breeders and veterinarains are two breeders who have written on breeding and showing (Vella and McGonagle), a geneticist (Shelton) and a practicing veterinarian (Stanglein). This book simply and directly covers the subject of genetics, incorporating the lastest scientific advances, while at the same time reflecting the practical knowledge of experienced breeders.

The whole subject of genetics is covered: principles of heredity; breeding systems and inbreeding; coat and color inheritance; color variations; breeds; and genetic anomolies. The heart of this book is the material on breeding systems and practices, and selective breeding and inbreeding. The evaluation of cats for breeding purposes and comparisons between possible mates are explored in considerable depth. The chapter on genetic anomolies is up-to-date and quite comprehensive.

The new Fourth Edition is good news for all serious fanciers. Not only does it continue Robinson's work, it actually makes the best guide to feline genetics better!

Editorial Review:

Robinson's Genetics for Cat Breeders & Veterinarians 4th Edition is an essential purchase for all breeders of pedigreed cats, practising small animal veterinarians and veterinary undergraduates. This fully revised edition re-establishes Genetics for Cat Breeders as the text of choice in the field of feline genetics.

Truly useful in breeding, because it is readable. 4 out of 5 stars.
9 of 14 people found this review helpful.

This readable work gathers the research, theories and opinions of his predecessors and presents his own opinions as well, giving arguments on both sides. Sections on determination of coat color were especially thoroughly done, relying heavily on Little's work, though differing sharply on a couple of points.

Very indepth 5 out of 5 stars.

A highly complicated but essential book for the experienced & avid dog breeder. A wealth of knowledge in this one.

Learn more how to conserve our genetic resource 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.

This book talk about conservation that is a very important subject nowadays. It is necessary to learn more and more about this, becouse our local breeds are disappearing and it is necessary protect them. So, all papers and books that talk about this subject are very important to learn how to conserve and preserve our biodiversity.

Editorial Review:

Interest in genetic conservation and the survival of rare breeds has increased steadily in recent years. Following a successful conference held at Warwick, UK, in 1989 (published as Genetic Conservation of Domestic Livestock), a further conference was held in Budapest, Hungary in August 1991. This book presents selected edited papers from the Budapest conference, reporting new developments and initiatives in this expanding field of research. Contributors came from all over the world, and the book will interest geneticists, animal breeders and others concerned with rare breeds.
