1.0 out of 5 stars If you lie down with marketers..., Aug 4 2001
By "stephhuntcanada" (Toronto, ON Canada) - See all my reviews
Mr. Hartnagle's book contains a lot of excellent information, but is beset by two flaws that call into question the validity of his advice. First, the author seems to have done little research, relying instead on his obviously extensive knowledge of the Aussie breed. In one example he mentions electronic collars designed to stop a dog from barking, but says "personally I have not had experience with them". While this might be acceptable for a potential client in the office, it is not for the author of a book. The reader expects that research and cross-referencing have been done in all areas pertaining to the subject matter.

Far more serious, however, is the author's blatant promotion of a particular brand of dog chew toys. The entire chapter on "Dental Care" seems to have been included as an advertisement for this one company. The problem goes right down to the little registered trademark "r"'s and glossie product shots, and unfortunately calls into question the validity of everything he has said in the book. Where, exactly, does the paid promotion end and the impartial advice begin?

These two shortcomings unfortunately undermine what might otherwise have been a very useful text on the Australian Shepherd breed. As it stands, the new owner is advised to consider other sources of material on their pup.
