The Australian Shepherd, Champion of Versatility, written by Liz Palika and published by Howell Book House should be required reading for anyone interested in the breed. Mrs.Palika has included everything you should know about the Aussie before you deside, and you will, to add one or two to your household.

This book is an up to date look at Aussies . You have to have it in your library. I especially liked the description of the Aussie shadow tendancy. She writes do you mind scooting your chair back and bumping into the dog? My Gwen is under the chair as I'm writing this. This is the book I lend to my friends who are thinking about getting an Aussie. The pictures are beautiful. I did notice a couple typos.

Liz Palika did a wonderful job writing this book. I've been breeding, showing, and training aussies for 12 years and this is one of the best books written on them. I really enjoyed the pictures of the dogs in the 1st edition from the Bayshore bloodlines.

Wonderful, gives pros and cons, anyone considering buying a herding breed should read this book. The majority of the book is about how to care for and make your aussie happy and healthy.

This book has it all, and more importantly, it was written by someone who HAS Australian shepherds (most books out there are not written by those whom actually live with them). A nice overview of the breed and the possibilities it holds. Great work.

As I am a new aussi helder in Europe, I am looking to get more informations about the australian shepherd dog. So I purchased this book and as much I read 'till now was very good information whith some good triks for me.

AFTER SIX WEEKS I AM STILL WAITING FOR THIS ORDER TO ARRIVE. AVOID THIS VENDOR.
