useful October 24, 2006
Just Me (here and there across the USA)
Unlike many low-cost "breed" books, this one actually does have breed specific information in it. Discusses typical Heeler temperament and behavior. Plus, lots of nice photos.
 Not for deaf ACD owners December 7, 2002

I do not recommend this book if you are a deaf ACD owner. The book states that deaf dogs do not make good companion dogs and does not give any facts for their statement. As the owner of two deaf ACD's , I am glad I didn't take the advise of the author. I would have to agree that this is a breeder book and is not for those who wish to aid the overpopulation instead of add to it.
Pretty good August 1, 2001

I have an Australian Cattle Dog myself, and this is the book that I had from the very beginning. It was pretty good, though it didn't give much info on how to deal with the Cattle Dogs large amount of energy. If you want a book on the background of the Australian Cattle dog, this is a good book, but don't get it if you are looking to solve problems.
 Not what I was looking for! November 15, 2000

This book is very detailed in the process of breeding and not enough as to Care, Nutrition, Behavior and Training as the Title of the book leads you to believe. It does state what your ACD needs as far as "needs a job to do" or "daily exercise" but does not give enough suggestions or examples for the reader to follow or try out. For me, this book is too generic. It says "Exercise needed" but no suggestions are given, "Nutrition" but no amounts or recommendations, and so on. The rest of the book is dedicated to the purchase and breeding. I think this book might be informative for someone thinking about buying a ACD but for someone that allready ownes a ACD this book offers very little information. But hey, the pictures are great.
 A very informational book, I recommend this book to anyone. July 28, 1999

This book has many good pictures, and if your lazy you can learn a lot just from the picture captions. But if you are a reader this book will give you all kinds of great information.
