Customer Reviews

My Favorite ACD Book!

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.

The Complete Australian Cattle Dog

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.

The most complete book

Shortly after the purcase of my 2nd ACD I bouht this book and it is the most complete book on ACDs I have ever read It covers every thing including training for herding comp. It also has in great detail the origin of the ACD. Congrates to the authors of this wonderful book.

What I thought of The Complete Australian Cattle Dog

Is a great book for anybody who is thinking of buying an ACD or is looking for a little bit of help on raising and training one. Also helps in training them to work cattle and sheep, since other herding dog books usually don't deal with "heelers" or working cattle.
