Everybody knows Lassie, the dog that made Collies famous. This is the definitive work on Collies. There are contributions from luminaries in the breed which help to give depth to the treatment of the history and success the breed has enjoyed in this country. Both rough and smooth coats get equal attention. There are chapters on breeding (artificial and natural), the care and feeding of the brood bitch and the stud dog, and how to select the best puppies in the litter. There are 225 photographs and drawings including a colored pictorial on how to breed for color.
