5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Breed!, January 27, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: A New Owner's Guide to Border Collies (Hardcover)

This book is filled with beautiful photographs and extremely helpful information. After reading the book, I feel I have a much better understanding of the breed. The author is obviously extremely knowledgable with the care and training of border collies.

3.0 out of 5 stars Like all the breed books, March 21, 2010

Holly S Rivney "LaChat" (Las Vegas, Nevada, USA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: A New Owner's Guide to Border Collies (Hardcover)

I was really hoping to find information on how to train my BC to herd, not more generic stuff about how to feed, bathe, and care for a dog. It had almost NO info on training for agility or flyball or signals to herd. I didn't find enough information on the BC that made it worth any other breed book. I have the book, I keep it for my library, but it is for the beginner who may have not had any kind of working dog before (BCs are not like chihuahuas, for sure).

3.0 out of 5 stars Great deal - but petro-based ink is a problem
Nice little book. Would have given it 5 stars if the ink and/or paper wasn't a bit toxic. Letting it gas off on the heater - well, heater didn't work, had to return it.
