Australian Cattle Dogs: Everything About Purchase, Care, Nutrition, Behavior, and Training

by Richard G. Beauchamp

The sturdy, active Australian Cattle Dog is an excellent working dog, noted for its loyalty and protective instincts toward its master. This book is a title in Barron's extensive line of Complete Pet Owner's Manuals . Heavily illustrated with color photos and instructive line art, these books present information on housing, feeding, health care, the title animal's traits--and where applicable, on grooming, training, and breeding. Each book is individually written by a trainer, breeder, veterinarian, or other animal specialist. The titles cover virtually all animals that are kept as pets, and include a wide selection of dog and cat breeds, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians, small mammals, and even some insects and arachnids.

Very informational book. It's good for anyone that is thinking about getting an Australian Cattle Dog or for anyone that is interested in the breed in general. I'm both a happy owner of an Australian Cattle Dog and interested in the breed.

Informative and helpful.
I would have liked some solutions to his mention of checking their paws for injuries - not every single one requires a vet check up. But would have liked some home remedies or other solutions to some of the problems be rose that occur in cattle dogs.
Otherwise a really good book.
