The Border Collie: An Owner's Guide to a Happy Healthy Pet

This bookis extremely helpful but sometimes confusing. It teaches you how ot train, groom and how much your breed needs in food maters. This book will definatly help new owners fighure out why there dog does what it does, and how to fix the situation

This Book is Great

I first read this book when I checked it out of the library and I totaly loved it. I had checked books out before about other breeds, to find out which one would be the best for me, and all of the other books were so full of things that didn't understand that it made it hard to choose. But when I read this book, not only did I find out that the Boder Collie was the right dog for me, but I also was able to understand everyting the author was talking about. So if you're looking for a book that is easy to understnad and yet informative as well I would recomend this book, it's great!

A really great border collie book

I found this book at my local library and, a big fan of border collies, was eager to check it out. I was pleased by the full-colored photos instead of black and white ones. The book provides true and top notch information, and the author reflects on her own experiences with border collies several times. There are chapters on feeding, grooming, training, behavior, and equipment. If you need a border collie book, get this one. It's the best one I've ever seen.
