While the entire book was jammed packed with useful information and background history of the Border Collie, I especially enjoyed the chapter where 6 dogs were comparatively judged. Head shots, front, side and rear views of 3 male and 3 female black & white Border Collies were each critiqued by judges from England, the U.S. and New Zealand. Very interesting how each judge interpreted his/her country’s standard of ideal Border Collie conformation, as well as being helpful in pointing out flaws of basic dog anatomy in general..
A must read before you purchase that puppy!

I got this for my daughter-in-law for Christmas. She has it “dog-earred” and says it is truly the ultimate border collie book

As a soon-to-be Border Collie owner, this book has proven to be very helpful. Its chapter on puppies and puppy care from the day you bring it to your home is very good. Living in Denmark, you cannot find many books about the Border Collie so I was very pleased to find this one. I am picking up my little puppy in less than 3 weeks and after reading this book, I feel confident that we have made the right choice regarding dog breed and the breeder. I can especially recommend this book if it’s the first time you’re getting a dog.

I bought this book when I wanted a Border Collie. Now I have one. Pretty pictures in the book, but not that much information that you can’t get most anywhere else. Border Collies aren’t all alike (mine has no herding instinct) so just buy this to put a smile on your face.
