| Some useful books & Video's for the Border Collie Owner | ||
|
Essential Reading for those wishing to understand the Border Collie breed |
||
|
There have been some awful books written about the Border Collie over the years - badly researched books by people who know very little about the breed - badly researched books that pose questions but never provide answers - even some badly researched books that are positively misleading and dangerous due to the poor quality of the information provided. |
||
|
We don't list books like that on this site, nor do we list books that simply provide you with easy or digestible answers because that's what the author thinks you want to read. |
||
|
You will find well researched books, well written books and informative books, based on experience and facts. |
||
|
We hope you find the answers you are looking for.................... |
