 Another Winner! June 21, 2008
This is the second book I've ordered for my father based on the reviews, and I have another winner! My Dad is tough to by for and I was again thrilled that he was so pleased. He has an Aussie and is delighted with the A-Z content on the breed. Thank you, reviewers, for all your honest imput. It's invaluable.
Australian Shepherd Book of Choice June 6, 2008
This is the second book I have had. The first one was completely wore out. I am a breeder of Australian Shepherds and there is lots of information about the breed along with activites, health, and breeding. I highly recommend this book to anyone that wants to expand your knowledge on Australian Shepherds. I recommend this book to many customers that want to learn more about the breed. I tell them that if you want to buy one book then this is the book to get.
All About Aussie; The Australian Shepherd from A to Z May 2, 2008
I am very pleased with the book. The Hartnagle's have been active in the Australian Shepherd industry for generations. This book covers it all, from breeding to when to begin training.
I love it! December 10, 2007
This book really does't leave anything out! Very good information. From obedience to advance herding and any type of medical (emergency or day to day) information you might ever need. Just doesn't have the current informatin on organizations. I would suggest getting "Australian Shepherds" along with the All About Aussies. Its a magazine from the popular dogs series. It has all the current information on oragizations and trends.
 Sticks to breed specifics; want more color photos September 28, 2007

This book was recommended highly, and I was not disappointed! The information coverage is all that I expected and more. So many dog books digress into information that applies to all dogs, but this one sticks to breed specifics.
There is only one thing I would improve in future editions: more photos in color. However, knowing that many of the historical photos were originally in black & white, I would not edit them out... the idea is merely to add more full-color recent photos, especially showing the full range of Aussie activities, trials, games, etc. One can never see too many beautiful Aussies!
