This book is okay, but I was disappointed to see how much general dog information is included in the book. This information applies to all dogs, not just Border Collies. I've got many books to use as a resource for this type of general info. I am looking for Border Collie specific information and found only a small part of this book dedicated strictly to Border Collies. Very disappointing.

If you have any questions on Border Collies,this is the book to have!I was very impressed.It is filled with all kinds of doggie tips & fun facts.This covers all aspects of this wonderful dog.It includes chapters on why you might want a Border Collie,preparing to bring you dog home,grooming,training, and for those of you who already have a Border Collie, curbing the herding instinct & correcting problems such as barking or biting. A wonderful book to have, I loved it.

This book is a wonderful book if you want to know all about border collies. It offers a detailed description of all aspects of dog care, breed-specific training tips, and all the facts about Border Collies. If you are thinking about getting a border collie puppy or adult this is a very informative resource. I highly recommend it.

This is a well written, easy to read, guide. The authors are knowledgeable and expressive. Subject coverage is complete and this book is an excellent addition to one's BC library.

An essential book for every new border collie owner. This book covers all the basics: from puppy selection to rearing, from training to feeding. This IS your reference manual. Call it 'Border Collies for Dummies'. I am new to the breed, and these dogs truly are differernt. So glad to have found this book. Don't let other reviewers steer you away: this book is definitely about border collies. I recommend buying 2-3 books on border collies, since there will be differing perspectives and opinions on some matters. Also, different breeders/experts bring unique insights to raising and owning a border collie. Either The Ultimate Border Collie or The Working Border Collie is a good companion to this book.

Decent book on border collies. There's a few instances when I question their information based upon other books I've read, but basically a decent primer.

I would recommend this book to anyone looking for general dog care, however there was limited information specific to border collies. If you have a dog but want to learn more about border collies, choose another book.

this book is very much biased towards the us market.i could not really relate it to myself or my collies environment in england

Great for those who are thinking about having their first Border Collie. Very straight forward and fun to read.

I hoped for more detailled information about what to feed a Border Collie, how to train him and what specific needs these dogs have.
It turned out that I was already pretty well informed, there was not a lot of new information.
Plus I don't like the writing style, too redundant, it goes on and on without really revealing anything important.
But if you haven't read anything about Border Collies yet, this bóok might be quiete useful.
