About this title

Review

The New Collie provides invaluable guidance on caring for adult Collies and puppies, training, showing and breeding. There is a fascinating chapter on the Collie as a herding dog and valuable updates of showring history. Much of the text is presented in symposium style with contributions by many of the breed's leading authorities. The peerless text is further enhanced by beautiful photos of great Collies, past and present, heroic Collies, Collies that have achieved fame in the worlds of literature and entertainment and Collie puppies at their unsurpassed, winsome best. The New Collie is for everyone who loves this breed, so familiar and so special. It is for serious students, adoring owners, astute judges, and all whose lives are enriched by sharing it with this enduring favorite of so many. -- Midwest Book Review
