Breeding

A breeder needs to be very well acquainted with the breed he is dealing with, having an insight in the breed itself, as well as being familiar with some individual representatives of the breed that may offer a positive contribution to its wellbeing. It goes without saying that anyone who intends to breed must also be familiar with the basics of genetics. This chapter gives a lot of information about breeding Glen of Imaal Terriers. Important issues to keep in mind are: which parents to use, taking care of the bitch in season, the mating, the birth of the litter and taking care of the young pups. Also colour and colour-inheritance is explained in this chapter.
