 Not quite was I was hoping for October 5, 2009

I recently adopted a miniature Australian shepherd and purchased this book as an inexpensive way to add breed-specific information to my library. However, my dog was already five years old when I adopted her, and I really felt that this book was more geared towards customers who are adopting purebred puppies. There is limited information about the habits and personality of the breed, and although the health information was okay, I don't feel it was worth purchasing this book for that information alone. And it doesn't contain any helpful information about the miniature version of the breed.
Still, for the price, it has some useful and interesting information, and I did learn a couple of things. I doubt I will reference it often but I don't mind having it in my collection. However, if I were to only pick one book about this breed, I would definitely select something more comprehensive.
If you are getting a purebred puppy, though, I would definitely recommend this as a good starting point. I still wouldn't consider it to be very comprehensive, but it will give you some good pointers on what traits to look for, what to avoid, and how to care for your new puppy.

I have books on dog training and behavior but it wasn't until I read this book that I reallized I now owned something entirely different from my previous pets. Now we have bonded even better and he's finally getting the idea of what I want. This is an extremely energetic breed. Couch potatoes get something else or suffer.

This book was amazing for people thinking about getting an Australian Shepherd or for those already with an Aussie. I found this book to be very detailed and full of really usful information in an easy to read and understand way. My husband and I both read the book and we think it helped us to understand our puppy better and better train/raise her.
Good overall December 9, 2007

I've bought several Aussie books and this one is definately the quickest and most efficient read. For the price, I'd say its the best one available. It's written so everyone can understand and easily find what they're looking for
