This popular working dog also makes a fine pet. In addition to pet-care information, this manual presents a list of Collie organizations in the United States. Heavily illustrated with vivid color photos and instructive line art, Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals show and inform pet owners regarding proper care of dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, small caged animals--virtually every creature that is kept as a pet. The books give advice on purchasing and otherwise acquiring a pet, feeding it nutritiously, keeping it in good health, and where applicable, grooming and training it. Each book in this large series is individually written by a specialist, and though the information is authoritative, the text is clear and straightforward, easy for every pet owner to understand.

Big Help for Collie Owners,
This review is from: Collies (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
This book was particularly helpful for a new collie owner. The contents were solely about collies. Not just a collie picture on the front and boilerplate information inside. An easy, informative read. I highly recommend this owner's manual for anyone contemplating the purchase of a collie, or anyone who has become the new owner of a collie.

A Bit Too General,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Collies (Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals) (Paperback)
Some good information, but a lot of the information could apply to any other breed. It's very easy to read and reads quickly. Would have given it 5 stars if it'd been a bit more in-depth and thicker. Good book, just needs to have more in it.
