 Shame on you, Narelle Robertson! May 11, 2007

I bought this book two days ago on a whim. I've been researching Australian Cattle Dogs and am very keen to adopt one soon. So far, I've purchased a few books and am getting to know a lot about the breed. This book, however, was a huge disappointment. There were nice pictures of dogs, which I liked, and that was about it. Almost all content in this book is simply general information on dogs and dog ownership. There is very little specifically devoted to Cattle Dogs. What's most infuriating is that the book's author, Narelle Robertson, is the famed breeder and owner of the Kombinalong line of Australian Cattle Dogs, reknown for show winning champion Australian Cattle Dogs. The fact that somebody so famed and involved in the breed would authorize such a slapdash book is upsetting. Narelle Robertson's book is so general (and features so many obvious product placements), that I view it as a great disservice to AuCaDo owners. It's very clear that her priorities were in the marketing of the book, and the money from product placements. It's a shame, since she should have been focused on the dog breed that is her livelihood.
 Very Lacking on the Specific Subject of the Book July 24, 2005

This book contains a lot of good info on general dog care; however, that's not the kind of book I wanted.
Maybe 30 pages out of 200+ are actually about the specific breed rather than dogs in general.

This is probably one of the worst of all books about ACDs (although some others may qualify as well). Unusable information, combined with pictures of similar quality...a complete waste of money. Instead, add a few $$ and go for John&Mary Holmes.

It explains the origins of the Australian Cattle Dog quite well,
but the rest of the book is very vague on training specifically
an ACD and also half of the book is for dog food, toy, training
tool advertisements. Really didn't get much out of it except
for the great pictures.

This is a good general book and gives great breed standards. I would like to see more books with the simplicity and organization of this book. It also has great genral dog care tips for all dogs.
