What people are saying:

"This is no light coverage from an outsider, but an in-depth survey of the Australian Shepherd breed by a third generation breeder who has been involved in their training and upkeep since childhood. And if All About Aussies: The Australian Shepherd A to Z sounds familiar, that's because it appears here in a brand new 3rd updated edition which offers not just new photos, but a new chapter devoted to Miniature Aussies. All the basics of the breed, and the show business for Aussies, are thoroughly explained in this 'bible' of detail, highly recommended."

- Diane C. Donovan, Reviewer, Midwest Book Review 2006

"What a wonderfully informative book. This book is a must for anyone that wants to really know about Aussies."

- Laurian L. Jaramillo

"Judging by the number of Australian Shepherds seen at any kind of horse event, this breed has to be the most popular with horsemen. And this book will prove to be equally popular. It's easily one of the best dog books we have ever seen. It is incredibly complete, with information ranging from the history of the breed to working and training the stock dog. Also included are chapters on basic training, competing in conformation show and working trials, adn genetics, breeding concepts, and reproduction. The book is also liberally illustrated with great photos. Author Jean Joy Hartnagle-Taylor grew up working Aussies on a Colorado ranch, and she has been a breeder and trainer of these dogs most of her life. She is also an Australian Shepherd Club of America conformation judge, and an AKC licensed junior showmanship judge."

Review in Western Horseman

"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!"
