Great for those who are thinking about having their first Border Collie. Very straight forward and fun to read.
 Companion to your Border Collie's Life June 11, 2009

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.
Primer for every first time bornder collie owner! August 10, 2007

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.

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.
Too Nonspecific October 14, 2002

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.
