Great book

Kathy knows cattle dogs! This book tells it like it is and gives a really thorough review of what life is like with an ACD.

An excellent read for the cattle dog owner

This book really covers the temperment of the breed. Offers training and what to expect of living with a cattledog. I had a hard time putting the book down.

Excellent book especially on training!

As a first time Australian Cattle Dog Owner we were unprepared at how to care for and deal with the cattle dog that adopted us. This book has lots of good information on caring for cattle dogs and is the only one that had information in it on leash breaking our dog. All in all an excellent book for people new to dogs and Australian cattle dogs in particular.

A very informative read for owners new to the breed.

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.
