This review is from: The Shetland Sheepdog: An Owner's Guide to a Happy Healthy Pet (Hardcover)

I bought this book along with 2 others and this book is by far the most informative for the average buyer. It is easy to read and understand. It should be all you need unless you are going to show you dog.
