Product Description
The Australian Cattle Dog was developed as a breed by stockmen who wanted a tough, working dog who could drive cattle in the harsh environment of the Australian outback. A number of different dogs were used to produce the ideal type, and these included the native Dingo, the Collie, imported from Britain, and the Australian Kelpie. The authors trace the origins of this tough, intelligent working dog from the Australian outback to the first imports to reach North America, Britain and the rest of Europe. All aspects of caring for the Australian Cattle Dog are covered, such as feeding, exercise, breeding and rearing, and there is a special section on the principles of training and the working role of the Australian Cattle Dog.

I think for a breeder or trainer, they might find this book helpful, for the lay dog owner..not really what I was looking for.

Not terribly useful.........I thought it would be more of an Owner's Manual and I'd like to see more specifications, links, you know, questions like "How long do they live?" "Average weight?" "When do they stop growing?" "Do they ever grow up?"
 Absolutely THE BEST ACD book September 7, 2002

I have owned and raised ACD's for years and this is by far the best book on the breed I have found. I have really enjoyed the reading and the photographs of famous Cattle Dogs. This is not another "puppy care" book - it is really about ACD's. It is a must for any serious Cattle Dog owner or fan.
My Favorite ACD Book! November 4, 2001

I absolutely love this book. It's almost as if the book was written about my own dogs! I find myself laughing and saying, "Yes! That's Blue!" or "That's exactly what Ready does!" I actually recommend THE COMPLETE ACD for owners of any breed because of the good information that can apply to all dogs.

This book has the best breed specific information I have found. It is one of the few books that covers training techniques for "heelers" working with cattle.
