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.

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.

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.

It took me close to 3 years to track down this book. I finally got it, read it and by the way, enjoyed it. It contains basics (to me anyway) about colour inheritance, structure, history, health, and a little on grooming and showing. This book will stay in my kennel's bookshelf for a long time. (And no, I'm not a year old.)

There is no book that is more complete or more informative than this one b the late, great Bobbee Roos. The coat color inheritance chart alone is worth the cost of the book. If you don't have it, get it.

I purchased Collie Concept as it was a recommendation from the Collie Club of America. In reading other reviews for this book I took someone's advice and ordered the hard covered version for more colorful pictures. I did not find the pictures so much more brillant most likely being an older published book. It's a good collectors item for your book shelve or someone who is interested in breeding this breed. It reviews so very much of the Collie Standards, showing and breeding info. I myself was simply looking for information about this breeds character and temperment and in the area of what to expect from your new dog/Collie; not breeding info. For the amount of money I paid for this book and it not be a reference book for me was kind of wasteful. I really haven't seen anything in it that will be of use to me and my dog. I had to order a "used" book as out of publication I believe; it came in the excellent condition as stated it was in.

i am very happy to purchase COLLIE CONCEPT by George Bobbee Roos. this book gives full and detail explanation of everything you have to know about the collie rough.

This is one of the best book's on collies you will find, but the pictures are all black and white in the paperback.so find and get a hard copy, it's worth the money.

The book was exactly how they described it. Its in great shape. It was sent quickly.
