Book Description
As a new owner of an ACD pup, I felt that I needed to know more information about the breed as a whole so that I could obtain insight on how to deal with my dog. This book was very informative and gave a good description of the ACD. I feel now that I better know how to handle my dog, but also how to make him the happiest. It gave great ideas on how to spend quality time with your dog using activites that they enjoy. I feel that our bond has definitely improved after reading this book. Read the book, get ready for some fun, and by all means go buy a can of tennis balls.

Book Description
Narelle has done a wonderful job with this book, updating the older version with new photos and relevant information. The book is filled with wonderful pictures of many Australian Cattle Dogs and puppies and shows them herding, playing, sleeping, in the show ring, and doing agility and obedience work. I particularly love the picture of a wonderful blue cattledog named Darcy sleeping on the couch with one of her owners, Rick Williams, on page 130! Although Australian Cattle Dogs are not a breed for everyone because of their high energy level and high intellengence coupled with the need to herd things, the book gives a well-rounded view of the breed. Really a fun book and highly reccomended!

Book Description
This book is aimed at the person who owns or plans to own an Australian Cattle Dog as a household pet and companion. It thoroughly covers all aspects of care and training necessary for ACDs living in those circumstances. The book does not purport itself as a training book for professional livestock owner. Those who use this book as a companion guide find it fits the bill beautifully--Richard G. Beauchamp, author.
