The Border Collie; An owner's guide to a happy healthy pet

Burch, Dr. Mary
Howell Book House, New York, 1996, ISBN 0876054920, English

The book starts with the introduction of the breed and contains primarily information about the Border Collie as a pet. The side-bars with tips and facts are useful. Beautiful colour photos complete the text. Unfortunately the chapter on health contains drawings of other breeds. The chapters that follow, about training, activities, family and community contain almost only photos and drawing with other breeds.

Conclusion

The fact that a book is in this list does not imply that we necessarily agree with the contents of it. The list with books is merely informative; we do not want to push you into buying any of these books. The fact that a book is not in the list only means that we either do not have the book yet or that we didn't get to including it in the list.
