Australian Shepherd: A Comprehensive Guide to Owning and Caring for Your Dog (Owner's Guide)

A Complete Pet Owner's Manual, with a special chapter: Understanding Australian Cattle Dogs

This relatively new breed was recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1980, though its ancestors have been working on Australian ranches since early in this century. The sturdy, active Australian Cattle Dog was bred from Collies, Dalmatians, and the native Australian Dingo, and is noted for its loyalty and protective instincts.

Here is advice on purchasing, feeding, behaviour, training, grooming, diet, health maintenance, breeding and much more.
