About this title

Synopsis

The Border Collie was specially bred as a hardy work dog on the farm or ranch, and it also makes a fine pet. But it becomes unhappy unless it has lots of space for roaming. Covers such questions as Is the dog appropriate for an owner who merely wants a companionable house pet? Is it an active animal that needs vigorous daily exercise? Is it good with kids? Will it make a reliable guard dog? Is it unusually susceptible to health problems? This book offers an in-depth look at the special characteristics and needs of the Border Collie. Full-color photos and eye-catching sidebar features throughout the book.

About the Author

Dita Kilsby's love of Border Collies started nearly 25 years ago when she was given Shep for her 11th birthday. She started her Tamarsh Kennel in 1989, producing several Championship Show winners, and one Show Champion. Dita passionately believes that breeders should not lose sight of what the Border Collie was bred for. "We must all work hard to retain the beautiful looks, intelligence, athleticism, versatility, and working ability that sets this breed apart from the others," she states.
