Product Description
The Blue Heeler from Down Under, the Australian Cattle Dog shines as the nations pride and joy, a most versatile and fearless working dog that knows no bounds as a herder and companion dog. Developed to work cattle, as his name implies, the Australian Cattle Dog today performs flawlessly in many arenas: on ranches and farms as a tireless herder; in dog shows as a Best in Show winner; at obedience, herding and agility trials as a multi-title holder; and in homes as a prized family member. For the active family able to provide the AuCaDo with the structure, training and attention he requires, this remarkable breed will provide many years of quality companionship. This new book provides insightful chapters on the breeds history in Australia, characteristics and standard as well as puppy selection, grooming, health care and feeding. The new owner will welcome advice about puppy-proofing the home, preparing for the pups arrival, housebreaking and preventing puppy problems. Not only well written and informative but also beautifully illustrated with over 135 color photographs, this book will prove an excellent resource for all owners of the Australian Cattle Dog. Helpful hints and important information are highlighted to provide easy access to everything the reader needs to know about life with an AuCaDo from puppyhood to the senior years.

 Cattle Dogs August 3, 2010
Sami Kieffer (Lawrenceburg, IN)
The book came fast, in great condition. I will buy fromt this person again...
 ACD, not in this book July 25, 2010
E. aaron
if you're looking for a book as a 1st time dog owner that has nothing to do with ACDs, then I still wouldnt recommend this book.
however that may be the only person that would find any value out of this book.
This book has almost zero ACD specific information. It was as if someone took a book written for another dog or dogs in general and then added a few info that they found from various dog related websites. You can check animal planets website and find out just as much ACD info as you can in this book.
You would think that at least there are some good pictures of ACDs in this book. you would be wrong. It felt like they sent out a mass emailing looking for people home photos of their ACDs and just put what they found in the book.
I would rate this book a zero out of 5 stars if possible.

Great book. Upon completion our Dog Zippy, a blue healer ate the book. To clarify she tore it to pieces.

Very good information in this book on the temperament and characteristics of this breed. What a loving, attentive and affection dog this is! We adopted a Blue Heeler puppy and he is the most interesting, intelligent and joy-filled little guy we've ever had! Good material in this book!
