5.0 out of 5 stars The book is one long advertisement, November 22, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Australian Cattle Dogs (KW Dog) (Paperback)

This book is filled with page after page after (boring) page of 1/3 - 1/2 page pictures of products you can buy -- for any dog. I couldn't help but wonder what sort of arrangements the author has with the manufacturers of these items. I cannot recommend the book but I found one on ACD's that has a lot better info for new ACD owners: Australian Cattle Dog : An Owner's Guide to a Happy Healthy Pet (An Owner's Guide to a Happy, Healthy Pet); Katherine Buetow, Karen Breeton. I also felt a lot of the material was "filler" material designed to increase page count. I suggest the author and publisher go back to the drawing board.

2.0 out of 5 stars Very Lacking on the Specific Subject of the Book, July 24, 2005

This review is from: Australian Cattle Dogs (KW Dog) (Paperback)

This book contains a lot of good info on general dog care; however, that's not the kind of book I wanted.

Maybe 30 pages out of 200+ are actually about the specific breed rather than dogs in general.

This review is from: Australian Cattle Dogs (KW Dog) (Paperback)

This is probably one of the worst of all books about ACDs (although some others may qualify as well). Unusable information, combined with pictures of similar quality...a complete waste of money. Instead, add a few $$ and go for John&Mary Holmes.
