Product Description

Product Description

This is our seventh set of Happy, Healthy Pet titles. These latest additions will bring our series up to fifty-five titles, and like the others, they are books pet owners can turn to for the essential information they need to raise a healthy pet.

All books contain information on:

  • feeding
  • housing
  • grooming
  • health care
  • what to expect from the pet
  • basic training
As our series expands and focuses on different kinds of pets, the emphasis remains on making the pet a companion. In addition, owners of more unusual pets will particularly appreciate the expert advice in these books because professional care for their animals may be difficult to come by. As always, the instruction is from expert—people who know their pet intimately, but also remember what it was like to have one for the first time.

Happy, Healthy Pet guides are rich with professional quality color photos and are designed to be enjoyable and easy to learn from.



From the Back Cover

At last, a book about your pet that emphasizes total care, training and companionship! You'll not only learn about the species-specific traits of your special pet, you'll also learn what the world's like from your pet's perspective; how to feed, groom and keep your pet healthy; and how to enjoy your pet through training and activities you can do together. The Australian Cattle Dog is written by a breed expert and includes a special chapter on training by Dr. Ian Dunbar, internationally renowned animal behaviorist, and chapters on getting active with your dog by long-time Dog Fancy magazine columnist Bardi McLennan. Best of all, the book is filled with info-packed sidebars and fun facts to make caring for your pet easy and enjoyable.

3.0 out of 5 stars Half on ACDs, half on dogs in general, Jul 30 2003
By A Customer
I enjoyed this book, but didn't realize until I received it that only half the book is devoted to ACDs. The other half is about dog/puppy care in general and seems to be universal to this series of books. Good information, just not specific to ACDs as I had hoped.

Lots of pictures of adorable ACD puppies, as well as full-grown dogs. Good information about techniques for keeping an ACD busy and active, too. Medium-size puppy Kong toys filled with kibble, peanut butter and topped with a treat have helped my ACD stay in her crate all night without complaint, and saved my sanity!

Another quibble, the book tends to assume that you selected your puppy from a reputable breeder. The author doesn't seem to acknowledge owners who rescue pups, who have found an ACD pup by chance, or who have a mixed-breed, part-ACD pup.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent read for the cattle dog owner, Sep 27 2001
By Nancy L Rutan (Kings Mountain, NC United States) - See all my reviews
This book really covers the temperment of the breed. Offers training and what to expect of living with a cattledog. I had a hard time putting the book down.

As a first time Australian Cattle Dog Owner we were unprepared at how to care for and deal with the cattle dog that adopted us. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars A very informative read for owners new to the breed.
As a new owner of an ACD pup, I felt that I needed to know more information about the breed as a whole so that I could obtain insight on how to deal with my dog. Read more
