Customer Reviews

affectionate discussion of border collies

This book is clearly written by a border collie lover. The photographs are good and have cute captions, there are a number of drawings of the dogs, and the issues of living with a border collie are straight-forward and informative. I loved this book. I keep returning to some of the pictures I enjoyed most.

Border Collies (Complete Pet Owner's Manuals)

Excellent book which taught me all I needed to know about my new Border Collie. Highly recommended.

Great information

The information in this book was very helpful. It is simple to understand and gives you the up front techniques that a person needs to train a BC. I would recommend this book to any first owners of this breed. They are wonderful dogs and deserve the best care possible.

The best border collie book I've ever read...

Even though I don't own a border collie, I want to someday, so that's why I bought this exceptional book. The information was excellent and clear, and this book had lots of color pictures and drawings . Because of this book I realized how much I didn't know about border collies, which was a lot. This book will make me a much better dog owner. I recommend this book to anyone who has a border collie or who wants one.

Informative and insightful.

I adopted two border collies before I knew what I had gotten myself into. This book gave me a greater insight into the nature and mindset of the breed. If I had this book before I got my dogs, I would have saved myself some time and frustration. This is an excellent book, with practical information. It is straightforward and enjoyable to read.
