Sheepdogs at Work

Shepherd and author Tony Iley believes that it is one of the wonders of the world to see a good Border Collie working in harmony with his master.

In this book he covers the history of the working dog, training from the puppy stage onwards, breeding, choosing the right dog for you, as well as describing the styles, methods and experience of different handlers.

As a shepherd who has competed at trials for many years his chapter on trials is very illuminating.

This book will be a delight, not just to those who are interested in working with dogs, but anyone who wants a better insight into the wonderful relationship between a dog and his owner.
