Not Rocket Science
by: Wood, Ingrid & Como, Denise
Wood and Como share a treasure trove of fascinating facts gleaned from extensive
research and decades of experience breeding sighthounds and alpacas. The

hybrid vigor, understanding pedigrees, and sex chromosomes. An entire section
features the basic concepts of color inheritance. All scientific concepts
and terms are clearly explained, often by using practical examples. The
book’s content – including a carefully selected reference section
– provides breeders with the tools to make more informed breeding decisions.
Since man shares considerable portions of DNA with his fellow creatures,
people from all walks of life will appreciate the wealth of information
presented here. The author’s sense of humor and artist Maryann Conran’s
delightful illustrations emphasize and support the message: learning about
genetics can be fun! A prior knowledge of genetics is not required to enjoy
