A collie owners handbook.,
This review is from: Collie Concept (Paperback)
This is a wonderful and informative book. It is chock full of pictures of collies as early as the first known collie in the USA right through some of the more recent and important collies we know today. You will find advice on how to pick a collie puppy,and how to get it registered with AKC. There is information about common collie health problems as well as advice on how to train your collie. It really is the collie owners handbook.

Collie Concept,
By "tim_ish" (south west, Mi.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Collie Concept (Paperback)
I bought this book under the advise of other collie breeders some time ago. It was told to me that it was the bible of the Collie World. I have found that not only was that true but more.Not only did it help with breeding but raising as well. This is a must for anyone getting into Collies for any reason. I give this 10X more stars then whats offered. You'll love it.

THE BEST COLLIE BOOK EVER!,
By
This review is from: Collie Concept (Paperback)
I have owned this book since it came out new....wish I'd bought two - one to read...one to save. My copy is so beaten up that it is a shame...but I actually have read it cover to cover thirty or more times. I read and re-read this one again and again. It is a great reference book, too. If you need to know it....it is here.
