Review by a future sheltie owner in MA
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I found this to be a good starter book for someone interested in purchasing a Sheltie, or a new owner of a Sheltie. There is good general dog information here, such as housing and supply requirements, general dog care and training, and nutrition. It also describes illnesses and diseases to which Shelties are prone,a brief breed history, and contains color photos. However, I was disappointed that it did not contain more specific breed information, such as examples of the different coat colors, or discuss typical behavior problems such as nuisance barking. This book is a good value, and a good place to start and good general reference, but I would suggest the book "Sheltie Talk", or searching some of the Sheltie web sites available if you are seeking more specific information on this breed.
