Publisher's Synopsis
Written by Cezar Blenk after more than 10 years of experience breeding Australian shepherds, this book is really the australian shepherd bible that will teach you everything you need to know about this beloved breed
The Australian Shepherd, the cowboy's herding dog of choice, is a medium-sized worker with a keen, penetrating gaze in the eye. Aussie coats offer different looks, including merle (a mottled pattern with contrasting shades of blue or red). In all ways, they're the picture of rugged and agile movers of stock. Aussies exhibit an irresistible impulse to herd, anything: birds, dogs, kids. This strong work drive can make Aussies too much dog for a sedentary pet owner. Aussies are remarkably intelligent, quite capable of hoodwinking an unsuspecting novice owner. In short, this isn't the pet for everyone. But if you're looking for a brainy, tireless, and trainable partner for work or sport, your search might end here.
Inside this book, you will discover the history and all the characteristics of the Australian Shepherd, thanks to this guide you will be able to choose a good breeder, prepare your home before his arrival, eliminate bad habits and train him to become a wonderful life companion. You will find chapters on the best food for your dog, his temperament, grooming, health care and more to ensure the best quality of life for your Aussie.
