Product Description
These handsome work dogs are closely related to the larger Collie, which they closely resemble. They also make wonderful household companions. Here is a valuable manual for new and prospective Sheltie owners. Books in the Complete Pet Owner's Manuals series present basic information about pets for new or soon-to-be owners. Advice and instruction covers feeding, housing, health care, training, grooming, protection against hazards, and much more. Texts emphasize pet care basics and are easy for all readers to understand, but most titles in this series also present facts that even experienced pet owners and breeders will find new and useful. All books in this series are filled with high quality full-color photos and instructive line drawings. Paperback / 104 Pages / 6 1/2 x 7 7/8 / 2000

 Review by a future sheltie owner in MA September 28, 2000

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.
