Product Description
The sturdy, active Australian Cattle Dog is an excellent working dog, noted for its loyalty and protective instincts toward its master. This book is a title in Barron’s extensive line of Complete Pet Owner’s Manuals . Heavily illustrated with color photos and instructive line art, these books present information on housing, feeding, health care, the title animal’s traits—and where applicable, on grooming, training, and breeding. Each book is individually written by a trainer, breeder, veterinarian, or other animal specialist. The titles cover virtually all animals that are kept as pets, and include a wide selection of dog and cat breeds, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians, small mammals, and even some insects and arachnids.

Customer Reviews
Australian Cattle Dogs (Complete Pet Owner's Manuals)
Heelers are my favorite breed. This book was very helpful and full of intersting facts.
Very Useful For Us
We bought this book after we adopted a little ACD from an animal shelter in March, 2008. It gives very useful information, and is written for the owner who primarily wants them as a family pet. Probably would not be useful for people who want breeding or ranching type information. We know what to expect because the ACDs demand lots of time, but the rewards are great. Intelligence level is extremely high along with the energy level. All of our future dogs will be ACDs.
Great Book
This is a great book if you plan to get an Australian Cattle Dog (AKA Blue Heeler) or are just curious about this breed of dog. It was very helpful in helpihg me understand how to handle, train and care for my new puppy. As well as explaining the special needs of this breed of dog. Includes many color pictures of these wonderful dogs.
