For those of you who are interested in making your sheltie look his or her best this is the book to read. Barb, who is a breeder and handler, takes you step by step through the grooming process. It even works for those of us who do not think we have the nack for grooming. P.S. The art work is great too.

This is a very informative book for the "newbie" in the world of Sheltie Show grooming. I don't see it really being for the typical pet owner however. Probably too much detail and more than they would want to know! It is really for the beginner show person, however I would recommend having someone already experienced teach you, do not just go by the book! :-))

This book has lots of good information for someone interested in grooming the sheltie for the conformation ring, or just wants to learn how to make their pet look their best.

Just about every aspect of sheltie grooming can be applied to collie grooming. It can be a challenge looking at an ungroomed collie and not knowing where to start. This book breaks down the whole process into manageable pieces...ear trimming, foot trimming, line brushing and more. A valuable reference book to keep near your grooming table!

Whether you show your dog, or just want him/her to look like a show dog, this is the book for you. As a groomer, I found the book to be a very helpful resource, and I recommend it to anyone interested in Shelties.

The book was delivered promptly, was in good condition, kudo's to the seller. The book came on the day Emma, our two year old tri-color Sheltie decided to roll around in a filter drain for our KOI pond. She always looks like a giant fur ball after bathing, we quickly read cues on bathing, and some easy learned hints on trimming some of that furry ball away.

One special area that helps alot is the ones dedicated to sanitary cuts for both the boys and the girls. Furry doggies are often collectors of that foreign stuff that you don't want brought into your home after a potty romp. This book is very detailed, providing information on this subject in a clear, easy to learn manner.

The author did a good job, thanks Ms. Ross.

I rec' my book in excellent condition and it arrived very quickly. Although, my Sheltie is still a puppy the visuals as well as the instructions are going to be very helpful.
This is my first Sheltie and I look forward to using this book often. I am
glad I ordered it!

Grooming a sheltie is a wonderful way to bond with the animal. They look forward to being groomed, if it is done in a skillful way. Whether your sheltie is a pet or show dog, this is an excellent resource. And, though it will take a little longer, the techniques can be used on rough collies, too.
