5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely THE BEST ACD book, Sep 7 2002

By	"rhondac@telapex.com" (Summit, MS United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Complete Australian Cattle Dog (Hardcover)

I have owned and raised ACD's for years and this is by far the best book on the breed I have found. I have really enjoyed the reading and the photographs of famous Cattle Dogs. This is not another "puppy care" book - it is really about ACD's. It is a must for any serious Cattle Dog owner or fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite ACD Book!, Nov 4 2001

By	Jackie (Ismay, Montana United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Complete Australian Cattle Dog (Hardcover)

I absolutely love this book. It's almost as if the book was written about my own dogs! I find myself laughing and saying, "Yes! That's Blue!" or "That's exactly what Ready does!" I actually recommend THE COMPLETE ACD for owners of any breed because of the good information that can apply to all dogs.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Complete Australian Cattle Dog, Dec 31 1999

By	Randy Goode (League City, Texas United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Complete Australian Cattle Dog (Hardcover)

This book has the best breed specific information I have found. It is one of the few books that covers training techniques for "heelers" working with cattle.
