Rough Collies of Distinction

Both Rough and Smooth Collies started life as working sheepdogs, but it was not long before the glamorous Rough Collie took the show scene by storm. Queen Victoria, a great dog lover, owned Rough Collies and soon American breeders were paying astonomical prices for English-bred dogs. All it needed was the Lassie films to cement the Rough Collie as the number one favourite companion and show dog.

The Smooth Collie, for so long considered the poor relation of the Rough, has has a less spectacular history but its outstanding temperament and refined, elegant good looks have attracted many enthusiasts.

For the first time, The Rough and Smooth Collie have been given equal status in this superbly illustrated book of the breed. The author covers both breeds in all aspects, including choosing a puppy, training and grooming. The working ability of both breeds is examined, together with comprehensive information on health care and breed specific ailments.

The show Collie is highlighted with info on the different show colours, preparing a dog etc. There is also a fully illustrated, in depth analysis of the Breed Standards.

For the more experienced owner, there is a section on breeding, mating, whelping and rearing a litter,

Lavishly illustrated with more than 200 photographs and line drawings.
Essential reading for enthusiasts.
