Christain has combined history and personal experience to bring the public a better understanding of this Australian breed of stockdog. Filled with never before seen photos and an impressive list of references this book is a" must have" for Australian Cattle Dog enthusiasts. The 15 chapters in the book take you from history of the breed through the versatility of the breed to "Cattle Dog Firsts." An impressive list of great dogs.

Christain covers breeding, health, and showing in both conformation and herding. To say this is a complete book on the Australian Cattle Dog would put it lightly. A pat on the back for Kathy Christain, author of THE AUSTRALIAN CATTLE DOG

From THE RANCH DOG TRAINER Vol 16, #5

This book is loaded with pictures of show dogs and gives a lot of history of the development of the breed and the introduction of the Cattle Dog to the US. I found that I needed to treat my book rather gently, physically; so for anyone buying the book, be careful not to break or bend the back too much, I had some pages pop loose. All in all I liked the book. Some of the information on critical topics like genetic related health problems was very accurate, just outdated.
