AMAZON BOOK REVIEWS AND HIGHLIGHTS:

A Great Book for a Beginner or Anyone!!! Reviewer: A reader This is a very good book. It explains how the Rough and Smooth Collie came about. The Magnificent Collie also talks about the breeders of the past who made a big improvement for the breed and those of the future. However, it also shows the famous dogs of the past. The Magnificent Collie lets you know what to look for in a Collie puppy or adult. It also shows you information about show quality Collies and what to look for when purchasing one. Training for the show and obedience is in this book to. There is lots of information about breeding. I highly recommend this book to anyone starting the breed, breeding, or just to find out information on their pets! This book really talks about the Magnificent Collie!
