Adams, Richard
    The Plague Dogs, Penguin Books Ltd., 1977. Paper. Fiction.* 
		This book, by the author of Watership Down, is a condemnation of the use of animals for 
		experimental research. Two dogs, who have been very ill used for this purpose, escape from 
		a research station in the Lake District in the north of England. A large black mongrel and 
		a terrier, both of whom had been pets before they were kidnapped, struggle to survive on the 
		rough fells. Aside from the drama of the story, compelling to all those who care about animals, 
		there is a wonderful scene of special interest to Border Collie enthusiasts, when the two dogs 
		come upon two sheepdogs herding sheep.

Armstrong, William H.
    The Tale of Tawny & Dingo, Harper & Row, New York, 1979. Hardbound. 
        Fiction, children's. The story of friendship between a sheepdog and a lamb.*

	A rather strange little tale of a lamb that is born, as the shepherd in the 
	story says, "the wrong number" (a triplet, third born and rejected by his 
	mother), "the wrong color" (spotted rather than pure white like the rest of 
	the flock), "and the wrong size" (a runt). But Tawny is befrended by Dingo, 
	the sheepdog, and, as he learns from the dog, he becomes more and more 
	dog-like. He, in fact, become a "dog-sheep". The story reminds one only 
	slightly of Babe. In Babe, however, things were worm and familiar 
	despite the absurdity of a sheep-pig, and full of humor. In Tawny and Dingo 
				       things seem somewhat foreign and very serious. However, the story is still charming, 
				       and the illustrations are quite lovely.

		This is the same story as Jack, the Puppy (below), only a more compete version written two 
		years before for adults.  There is much detail in this version, including the presence of the 
		maternal grandsire, Jasper, a gorgeous rough-coated shaded-sable-and-white collie from 
		Ireland, and the litter's sire, Sandy, half brother to dam Honey, a rough-coated sable-and-white. 
		There is some genetic misinformation in this book, but it is otherwise an admirable presentation. 
		
    Jack, the Puppy, Random House, 1988. Paper. Non-fiction, children. 
        Birth and growth of a Border Collie puppy.*
		This book takes the young reader, with excellent photos and text, from the birth of a puppy 
		through its first year. The dam is sable-and-white Honey, who has a litter of ten pups, three 
		tri-colored and the rest sable-and-white. The sire is not mentioned, but the granddam appears, 
		and she is black-and-white. The pups are shown being born, nursing, their eyes just opening, 
		and so on, as they grow into beautiful young dogs. Jack is the pup that obviously was kept, and 
		at the end of the book, when he is a year old, he is shown interacting with another of his dam's 
		litters, this time including pups of sable-and-white, tri-color, fawn-and-white, and 
		red-and-white. Obviously some interesting color genetics going on in this Border Collie family. 
		This book is the children's version of the first book on this subject by this author, 
		A Dog's Life--A Year in the Life of a Dog Family (above). 
		(This book review appeard in slightly different form in The Shepherd's Dogge, Summer 1988.)


Caius, Johannes
    Treatise on Englishe Dogges, London 1576. Chapter on the "shepherd's dogge":

		"The Shepherd's Dogge...either at the hearing of his master's
		voyce,or at the wagging and whistling in his fist, or at his shrill and 
		hoarse hissing, bringeth the wandering weathers and straying sheepe into 
		the self same place where his master's will and wishe is to have them."

				-- Dr. John Caius, physician to Queen Elizabeth I,
						from his Treatise on Englishe Dogges, 1576

	John (or Johannis) Caius was the physician to Queen Elizabeth I. His book, written 
	first in latin and subsequenly translated into the English of the day, contains the 
	first written description of the way a British shepherd and sheepdog worked together, 
	and in it can be seen the working Border Collie of today.

Coatsworth, Elizabeth
    Jock's Island, Scholastic Book Services, New York, 1963. Paper. 
		Fiction based on historic event; story about a man and a 
		Border Collie takes place in Tristan de Cunha.*
		This is a small book, only 80 pages and many of those taken up with 
		illustrations, but the story is heartwarming. It takes place on Tristan
		de Cunha, a volcanic island in the South Atlantic, halfway between 
		Africa and South America. Jock is a Border Collie. I can't tell much of 
		the story without giving away the entire plot and its suspense. 
		Suffice it to say there is plenty of Border Collie action including 
		several herding scenes. Unlike many of the children's books of the 
		era this one is straight fiction without moralizing, so it does not 
		appear dated.

	Jimmy Mender and his Miracle Dog, ©2012 by Leland Dirks.

	I just finished reading Leland Dirks book, Jimmy Mender and His Miracle Dog, and
I enjoyed it. Yes, it's probably about love, but it seems to me it is more about 
compulsion, obsession. Paul, the protagonist, meets a mysterious stranger and spends a
week with him. Certainly long enough to fall in love, and more than enough time to develop 
an infatuation. When Jimmy Mender leaves, Paul begins to write an advice to the lovelorn 
column under the title "What Would Jimmy Mender Do?". Although he never really hears from 
Jimmy again, Paul continues writing his column for five years, and during that period he 
has recurring dreams that he is a Border Collie searching for something or someone. It is 
an apt analogy for his obsession. And then he receives a package from Alaska containing 
Jimmy Mender's diary and a letter from a friend of Jimmy's, saying that Jimmy has died and 
left all of his possessions to Paul, and that if he came to Alaska he could claim them.  
Thereafter, Paul begins a quest to follow in Jimmy's footsteps and find out who Jimmy
Mender really was.  

	I won't include spoilers. You'll have to read it yourself to find out what happens on 
the way to Alaska and at the end of Paul's journey. If some of it seems rather unbelievable, 
it probably is. I just hope Leland and Paul did their homework before embarking on this journey. 
I believe at least Leland did. For Paul's sake, I hope he did as well, though I remain
skeptical. The mother in me wants to know how someone can go on a trek to Alaska in a
convertible with just penny loafers and one sweater to keep him warm.

		If you are looking for a book for young children that features Border Collies, this is a good one. 
		Janet lives at Reachfar Farm in the Highlands of Scotland with her mother and father, her maternal 
		grandparents, an aunt, and two hired hands, Tom and George. Granny is obviously the central 
		figure in the household. When an early spring snowstorm threatens the sheep grazing out on 
		the hill, Tom and George and their collies, Moss and Fan, go to gather the hill. But the East Hill, 
		nearest the house, is still in danger and the snow is accumulating fast. Janet knows that all she 
		need do is open the gate and her own collie, Fly, would bring in the sheep. This works well, with 
		Janet counting sheep to make sure they are all safe. But one turns up missing and Fly leads Janet, 
		against Granny's rules, out into the snow to find her. The plot may seem unbelievable, but perhaps 
		only to an adult. The illustrations are charming. Any book illustrated by Mairi Hedderwick is 
		worth having.*

After reading Kathleen Fidler's other book about a Border Collie (Flash, The Sheepdog), I was surprised by Turk, 
the Border Collie. While I found Flash to be shallow and trite, Turk was clever and gripping. My only explanation 
is that it was written ten yours later by a more experienced writer. Even the illustrations (by a different artist) 
are far superior in Turk.  Of the Lassie Come-Home genre, Turk is about a dog that is taken away from his home in 
the Borders of Scotland and finds his way back again, having many adventures on the way. This is a good book, well 
worth the read. Turk has character and depth, and you will like him.

		In their beautiful book, Hill Shepherd, John and Eliza Forder, photographers from Dentdale 
		in the Lake District, allow us a glimpse at the very interesting Lakeland sheepdogs. Living in
		the area they were photographing, the Forders knew the shepherds and were able to follow 
		them around throughout the year. The result is a large format book, packed with wonderful 
		phtographs of events in the shepherding year. And the dogs! There would be no shepherding 
		on these fells without the dogs. In their excellent introduction, the Forders say, "'Cur' or 
		'barking' dogs have been used in the Lake District for generations and are bred especially 
		for the job of shifting sheep in difficult terrain." The book has many photographs of 
		sheepdogs owrking the fells, and while some are rough-coated, many more are leggy, 
		smooth-coated dogs, and of unusual colors--merles, reds, fawns, brindles--along with the 
		more usual black-and-white. (This review first appeared in The Shepherd's Dogge, Fall 1991.)

    Meg of Lonktop, Gerrard, Lancashire, 1968. Illustrated by Diane Tomlinson. *
		This is the story of Meg, a Shetland Sheepdog, who works the sheep at Lonktop Farm
		in Lancashire. Eric Halsall owned both Border Collies and Shelties, and had great
		respect for both breeds as working dogs. Meg has all the adventures that sheepdogs
		in other books of this genre (children's literature) have had: there is the
		"Lassie Come-Home" experience where Meg gets kidnapped and has to find her way
		home over many miles; the sheepdog trial, Meg's first, where she remarkably takes
		third place; the battle with the late spring freak snowstorm, where Meg rescues
		the sheep lost in the snow; the falling down the abandoned mineshaft, where Meg
		has to not only find her own way out, but lead a visiting and frightened city
		sheltie out.  These may all appear to be cliches, but it's the way Halsall handled
		them that sets this book apart from others of its kind. Meg's tribulations do not 
		go on and on. They are not part of a tragic life, but a happy one, and when 
		they are over, they are over. While Meg is experiencing them, she is still 
		a dog. She finds time to play with sticks and blowing leaves. Halsall also 
		brings his experience as a naturalist to bear and his rich description of 
		Meg's environment is nothing short of enchanting. For those of you who 
		know Eric Halsall only through his two Border Collie books, Sheepdogs--My 
		Faithful Friends and Sheepdog Trials, this book should give you a broader 
		view of Eric Halsall as an author. (Book review 11/21/08 by Carole L. Presberg.)


	Sheepdogs--My Faithful Friends, second edition, Farming Press, 1996. *
		The second edition of Eric Halsall's Sheepdogs--My Faithful Friends came out in
		October 1996, and with it came the sad news of the demise of the author. Few names and
		faces were so well-known in the sheepdog world on both sides of the Atlantic than Eric
		Halsall's. The North of England native was a journalist, an author, a wildlife
		broadcaster, a farm manager, a naturalist, a sheepdog trial judge and course director,
		and an active member of numerous farm, conservation, sheep, and sheepdog organizations.
		But he will perhaps best be remembered, particularly in Britain, for the fourteen years
		he spent as commentator for the BBC production of the One Man and His Dog
		television series. His books on sheepdogs, which include Sheepdogs--My Faithful
		Friends (1980 and 1996) and Sheepdog Trials (1982), both add enormously to
		our knowledge and understanding of working Border Collies, their handlers, and of
		sheepdog trials. He also provided commentary for H. Glyn Jones' popular training videos,
		Come Bye!  and Away!, Take Time!, and That'll Do!. Sheepdogs--My
		Faithful Friends was a classic when it first came out, and will remain required
		reading for Border Collie devotees for many years to come, a fitting legacy to a man
		whose enthusiasm for sheepdogs and sheepdog trials came through in everything he did.

	Edward Hart, who died in 2011 at age 86, was an agricultural journalist with many books
 to his name, including The Sheep Dog, Its Work and Training with well-known trialist
 Tim Longton. Hart was an expert in rural crafts, and had special interests in sheepdogs
 and hill farming, as he was at one time a hill farmer himself. He spent eight years as a
 farm worker then farmed sheep and cattle at Bilsdale in North Yorkshire, and began
 writing farming articles. In 1965 he launched a column in the Yorkshire Post based on the rotating
 diaries of a set of five real-life farming families, and every week for 45 years Hart would call one
 of "his" farmers to hear of their successes and failures and phone in his report. It was read avidly
 by both farmers and townspeople and became very popular. The Hill Shepherd is based on those diaries.

Hartnagle, Jeanne Joy
    All About Aussies
    Stockdog Savvy, Alpine Publications, Inc., 2010.


	I was pleasantly surprised to read Stockdog Savvy (co-authored by
 Jeanne Joy Hartnagle's husband, Ty Taylor) and find that not only can Jeanne Joy
 Hartnagle do great things with stockdogs, but she can write as well.  Jeanne Joy is an
 American stockdog handler and trainer, and an instructor who has worked with cattle
 ranchers, the USDA, and the US Dept. of the Interior, managing cattle in yards and on the
open range.  She has titled dogs in all areas of competition and is a national and
 international judge of Australian Shepherds.

	Stock Dog Savvy takes the reader from the characteristics of herding dogs all
 the way through to training an effective trialling dog.  Jeanne Joy has an approach that
 would be successful for all herding breeds. The book is packed with black and white
 photographs illustrating the moves she is describing. I like the fact that Jeanne Joy
 uses photos of a variety of people, including children, not just of herself and her own
 family. I also enjoyed the profiles she has scattered throughout the book (for example,
 she has one of Bruce Fogt, a successful American sheepdog trialist and Border Collie
 trainer).

	A big plus is Jeanne Joy's use of positive methods for training without the
 excessive dependance on treats that some positive trainers use. She says upfront that
 clicker training is inapproriate for teaching herding.  She contrasts the possitive and
 negative aspects of many of the traits that herding exhibit (for example, noise
 sensitivity, assertiveness, timidity, etc.) and indicates how to handle dogs that have
 these traits. Throughout the book, there are tricks for problem solving.

	Although at the back of Stockdog Savvy is an appendix giving the
 profiles of more than sixty herding breeds, the book does seem to lean toward the collie
 breeds, probably because Jeanne Joy knows them the best .  Throughout, although much is
 said about the dogs themselves, it is evident that Jean Joy's aim is to teach novices how
 to BE a stockdog handler. The book has a decidedly American West flavor, which is most
 obvious in the section on commands. If I have one criticism, it would be that too many
 commands are presented, some of them redundant; and even though I am myself an American,
 I found a few confusingly regional. 

	This book is a great resource for experienced handlers, and an excellent
 manual for the beginning handler, and will be a book that I recommend in the future when
 asked, as I often am as the owner of The Shepherd's Dog online bookstore.

		general store. You are as likely to see her father in an apron doing domestic chores as her 
		mother. Her grandmother is "Granny Island"--people on Struay are called by traditional 
		Gaelic-type names referring to where they live, what they do, who they are related to, or by 
		some physical feature--thus, Katie Morag's other grandmother is "Gramma Mainland". 
		Granny Island wears overall and wellies and drives a tractor. Mostly, however, men are 
		farmers and fishermen, and women do the shopping or hang out the wash. These books, 
		written for young children, have little to do with sheepdogs or herding per se, but life on 
		the island is a traditional one, and careful study of the illustrations (which are lovely in 
		both their simplicity and complexity) reveals scenes of sheep farming. Sheep are everywhere 
		and sheepdogs appear on almost every page. Granny Island has her own collie, with a split 
		face, that you will recognize from scene to scene and book to book, even though she is never 
		mentioned directly. (This review first appeared in The Shepherd's Dogge, Spring 1991.)

		When I originally reviewed this book (The Shepherd's Dogge, Winter 1988/89), I 
		reviewed it together with John Templetons book, Working Sheep Dogs. Obviously 
		that can't happen here, so I am forced to review them separately. A Way of Life was 
		written by a romantic. We are transported with Glyn Jones back to his childhood and early 
		sheepdog experiences in North Wales. We meet his father and see the town and countryside 
		where he grew up through his own loving eyes. We get to know his family and his dogs, and 
		feel how he cares for them. His chapters on training are practical, thoroughly explained, and 
		admirably diagrammed (by Katy Cropper's sketches). The photographs are lovely. Jones is an 
		excellent teacher, continually explaining why he does something and his philosophy comes 
		through when he says "I try to develop my dog's abilities...in order to have him working to my 
		requirements but without turning him into a robot. I want the dog to learn that when I ask him 
		to make a particular movement he must obey, but that when I give no commands he can use 
		his own head to work things out." Since Jones has had tremendous success in the trialling world, 
		you will want to read this book (and it is very readable, even entertaining) and try out his methods.

		Ok, let's just get it over with at the beginning of this review: the movie, Babe, is one

		news: the book from whence it came is equally wonderful, with lovely illustrations, and 
		the movie stays pretty close to the book's plotline. The book has all the classic sheepdog 
		themes: sheep rustlers, attack by stray dogs, uncertainty as to whether the hero was the 
		attacker, and triumphant win at the sheepdog trials. After that, it couldn't be more different 
		from any other sheepdog book you've ever read. But everyone knows that because they've all

		(Thanks to Hope Thomas for this book review.)
		Matthew Ratton is a wonderful book about a man and his dog--or rather, about a dog and his
		master. The man rescues the runt of the litter from certain death, and the devotion of the dog 
		brings the man back to life after a tragic fire that scarred him physically and psychologically. 
		It is interesting to read about farm life set in present-day England [as] the land is changing 
		from farms to suburbia. Yet, the book shows respect for farming, the stewardship of the 
		land and the rhythm of seasonal work, enriched by the devotion of man and dog. There is a 
		certain calm reassurance about the story that is welcome in today's world.

(The following review first appeared in The Shepherd's Dogge, Summer 1991.)

Donald McCaig, author of the 1984 Best Seller, Nop's Trials, proves once
again, with Eminent Dogs, Dangerous Men that he can write, and write engagingly. 
When he realizes that his 8-year-old Border Collie, Pip, is slowing down, McCaig decides
to "make a pilgrimage" to Scotland for another dog. He takes off for three months,
leaving his understanding wife in charge of the farm. In recounting his saga, McCaig
manages to express all the feelings of insecurity any of us have ever felt on a trip to
the homeland of the breed of dog that has so thoroughly won our hearts and entered our
imaginations. He yearns for confirmation from his mentors. He interprets reserve as
rejection. He makes a fool of himself and is embarrased at being conspicuous as an
American.

For the sheepdog zealot, this book is enormously captivating. Here are all our heros,
canine and human, living and gone.  If you sense I have mixed feelings about this book,
you would be correct. I found the typos and misspellings (particularly consistent errors 
in the names of Scottish towns) distracting at best. Perhaps later editions corrected
this. More importantly, I was rather taken aback by McCaig's rough handling of the
personalities in his book. The British shepherds and farmers, sheepdog handlers and
trainers, that appear in Eminent Dogs, Dangerous Men are not just characters in a
book. They are real, living, breathing people: people we have heard about, people we
know, people to whom we have often looked to for guidance in sheepdog matters. We
possibly already know many of the things McCaig tells us about them, but I can't help
feeling that by exposing their emotional baggage in print for all to see, he is pandering
to prurient interests and perhaps betraying the hospitality they have shown him. 

McCaig is an excellent writer, and he is understandably interested in having his book
accepted by as wide an audience as possible. So, his characters must indeed be
characters. Furthermore, in order to write convincingly from the heart about a breed he
loves, he must expose the breed to a popularity that he undoubtedly realizes in not
necessarily best for the breed. Why else would he make such a feeble attempt at the 
finish of this book to dissuadethe general public from any notions of owning a Border
Collie? Listen folks, we have the mostwonderful dog in the world. It's highly sensitive,
extraordinarily intelligent, beautiful beyond belief, and we don't want you to have
one! Come on! He must have known that anyone reading this book would have to have one of
those fabulous dogs.

Prout, Jack
 Black Bob, the Dandy Wonder Dog, 
 D.C. Thomson & Co. Ltd, Dundee. Cartoon series. These books are 
all antique (1950-1965), 
out-of-print, rare, and much sought after. When found, they 
are usually in fairly poor condtion. Black Bob is a collie-type 
dog (however, in at least one of the volumes it is said that 
"Bob is a Border collie, handsome in his black and white coat, 
and so wise in the ways of sheep and men that he handles the 
great flocks, which are in the charge of his bearded master, 
with seldom a word...to direct him"), who has many adventures 
and is often a hero. Most stories are in a cartoon format, beautifully 
illustrated, without any credit to the artist or any date. However, the 
work is generally attributed to Lancashire/Cornwall artist, Jack Prout, 
who worked for  Thomson & Co. on their popular children's comic strip 
periodical, The Dandy, in which Black Bob was a regular feature. There are also some 
text-only short stories in most of the books, and each book usually has more than 
one story. The books each have a different color cover and spine and that's how they 
are identified.  They are available from The Shepherd's Dog online bookstore.

Below, right, the early Black Bob looked more like a Border Collie.




Prout, Jack
	THE VERY BEST OF BLACK BOB, THE DANDY WONDER DOG
		Geddes & Grosset/Waverly Books, Glasgow, 2010; D.C. Thomson & Co., Ltd., 2010

	In June 2010, Geddes & Grosset/Waverley Books published a new edition of Black Bob, The Dandy Wonder Dog 
called The Very Best of Black Bob, The Dandy Wonder Dog. It is a beautiful volume, with an introduction by 
Morris Heggie, the editor from 1986-2006 of The Dandy, a children's comic book that began in 1937 and is 
still being published today. The introduction is full of old photographs and the history of Black Bob, 
who appeared in The Dandy from 1944-1982. All of the original "yearlies", which were published 
infrequently between 1950 and 1965, had several adventure stories, some in detailed comic book style, 
and some as illustrated short stories, and this one presents stories in both formats.
	
In all my wanderings through the old Black Bob books, I wondered why the artist was never credited. 
As a writer this bothered me. It was just the style back then. The writers and illustrators
 worked for the publishers, and very few, if any, received bylines. A few years ago I found out that 
the illustrator of Black Bob was Jack Prout (1900-1978), a Lancashire artist who worked for D.C. Thomson 
& Co. This volume sets that wrong right in the introduction, which tells about Jack Prout's relationship 
to the publisher and the books. The original Black Bobs were beautifully illustrated, and this volume 
uses the old illustrations that belong with each story presented here.
	
One thing that still bothers me: Jack Prout owned a Border Collie, and the original Black Bob looked very 
much like a Border Collie. It is explicitly stated that "Bob is a Border collie, handsome in his black and 
white coat, and so wise in the ways of sheep and men that he handles the great flocks, which are in the 
charge of his bearded master, with seldom a word...to direct him." (In fact, in the first story in this 
volume, "The Bravery of Bob", it is said that Bob won the "Supreme Championship of All Britain"--head's 
up, Barbara Carpenter: you will have to add Bob's name to the next edition of The Blue Riband of the 
Heather!) So why did Jack Prout change the look of Bob? Sometime early on, Bob stops looking like 
a Border Collie and begins to look more like a "Lassie" collie. His muzzle gets longer and his ears migrate 
to the top of his head.
	
Nevertheless, Bob continues to herd sheep, and in The Very Best there are a lot of adventures that 
involve the herding of sheep. To be sure, Bob is given credit for more deeds of derring do than even the 
most incredibly intelligent Border Collie could ever hope to achieve, but we must cut the writers some 
slack, for after all, Bob was competing with Lassie (the original Lassie movie had just come out in 
1943 and was resoundingly popular). That could also explain why Prout gave Bob a more show collie look.
	
Another mystery was what was the date of any particular "yearly". Fans knew from the picture on the 
back cover, or from the color of the cover and spine, but no date was ever given. The Very Best of Black Bob 
solves the mystery in the introduction.
	
For those of you who grew up with Black Bob, you are going to want to own a copy of this book. It is in 
the same format as the original Black Bob yearlies and so will fit nicely on your bookshelf next 
to your beloved old editions. For those of you who have just started to collect the Black Bob books in 
recent years, you will have to include this one in your collection. For a start, it is brand new and 
very inexpensive (unlike those rare, beat-up old volumes). And for those of you who are new to Black 
Bob or who have children or grandchildren who have never met the redoubtable Bob, this book will be 
a wonderful introduction.

Sewel, Marion
  Bonnie Prince, An Autobiography of a Collie, A. Flanders, Chicago 1906.
	Dad brings home a black-and-white pup for his son. All goes 
	swimingly, love affair between the son and his dog, until Dad 
	looses all his money and the family has to move away. Prince 
	is given away to an indifferent city man, who seems complicit 
	in the subsequent kidnapping of Prince by Gypsies. The 
	Gypsies train Prince to be a poultry thief until a farmer catches 
	him and sends them packing, keeping the dog, who he sells to 
	someone in the stockyards. Here's where the story goes classic: 
	a stray dog comes into the yards and kills sheep, Prince saves a 
	lamb, but gets blood on his face, and you guessed it. He is 
	accused of the crime, nearly beaten to death, and barely 
	escapes with his life. We aren't given a time-frame for any of

	old fashioned collie as the frontispiece. 



Seymour, John
    The Shepherd, Sidgwick and Jackson, London, 1983. Philosophy. 
        Journalist visits sheep farms. Illustrated by author's wife.*
		There are only three chapters in this book: "Mountain Shepherds--
		Breeders of Ewes and Rams," "Lowland Shepherds--Midwives and 
		Nursemaids," and "Man and Dog--A Ritual of Grace and Beauty". The 
		book has promise. It begins with a tradional song, the "Gloucestershire 
		Shepherds' Song". However I was somewhat disappointed with it. 
		The shepherds in the book speak for themselves, and sheepdogs 
		appear in all three chapters. However, I did not think the author
		understood working sheepdogs. He speaks of dogs "under radio 
		control," while at the same time the shepherd himself is saying "the 
		best dog has got more up here and he thinks about it." The 
		illustrations are lovely.

Spencer, Cailean
    An Ciobair (The Shepherd), Gairm, Glasgow, 1970. Gaelic lessons for young children.*
		This is a First Gaelic Reader. Beginning in Lesson 1 we are introduced to an ciobair 
		("a shepherd"), am bata ("a stick"), and an cu ("a dog"). Lesson 2 takes you 
		from caora ("the sheep") through uain ("the lambs"). In lessons 3 through 7
		you get more words you will need ot know when conversing about shepherding in Gaelic, 
		started on phrases (an ciobair agus cu, "a shepherd and dog"), and end with the 
		startling concept, cromag air bata ciobair ("the crook is on the shepherd's stick"). 
		Basic stuff, this. But keep in mind that it is not aimed at adults wanting to learn to speak 
		Gaelic at the sheepdog trials to impress their friends, but at young children who probably 
		already have a conception of sheep farming and have likely heard Gaelic spoken at home. 
		This would be their first introduction to written Gaelic, and it's nice that it's with a 
		shepherd and sheepdog. (This review first appeared in The Shepherd's Dogge, Fall 1990.)

    Working Sheep Dogs: Management and Training, The Crowood Press,

		 John Templeton is a well known and respected breeder/handler in the British Sheepdog scene. 
		While the description of the sheep farmer's year in Ayrshire, Scotland, in the introduction is 
		fascinating, Working Sheep Dogs was essentially written by a pragmatist. There are no 
		charming stories.  This is a down to earth, practical presentation of John Templeton's training 
		style.  His training methods rely somewhat on the presence of an older, fully trained dog during 
		the tutoring sessions with the young dog, in order to set up situations properly and keep them 
		from going awry. How many of us have such a dog available to us when we go to train a young 
		dog? However, consciously or unconsciously, following some of the things he said when I went to 
		train my own dog, I found they worked! Of course they worked! So yes, the book is somewhat dry 
		and practical, but the wisdom the author imparts makes this book well worth reading.
		(This book review appeared in a larger article in The Shepherd's Dogge, Winter 1988/89.)


Terhune, Albert Payson (1872-1942)


Why Terhune, when he mostly wrote about collies (a.k.a., 
"standard collies", "show collies", "Lassie collies")? 
For one thing, I, like many dog people, grew up 
loving the stories. For another, I had a friend who 
swore that Terhune was actually writing about 
Border Collies, or at least she imagined Terhune's 
collies were Border Collies. Then, the collie is a 
cousin of the Border Collie, developed from 
the same working collie stock of the 19th century. 
And finally, because the very prolific Terhune wrote 
really good stories about courageous, faithful dogs 
with, as he would say, "heart", and we can all use a 
little of that in our lives. The portrait of Terhune, 
left and a good part of the list of Terhune's books 
come from the very excellent website of Wayne Lewis, 
and the individual books link back to each of his pages 
on that book, where you will find more information on 
them and photos of the various editions. The one's 
marked with an asterisk (*) are available through 
The Shepherd's Dog online bookstore.
