–
The working dogs
ofNew
Zealandcertainly deserve our respect.
Generations of careful breeding have produced the traits of stock-handling
skills, loyalty, hardiness and courage that are now inherent in their
bloodlines.
This book has been written
to assist those who use working dogs to handle livestock and provides a
practical step-by-step guide to training them the natural way.
Its authors, Michael Oliver
and Tony Sheild, are both farmers with extensive shepherding and dog
trialling experience.
The final chapter on
breeding and rearing healthy puppies, written by Marlboroughvet and
expert on canine reproduction, Peter Jerram, provides essential
information on this fascinating topic.
David Henshaw’s drawings of
rural life will be known and loved by all country people. Here he has
given us not only amusing cartoons in his inimitable fashion, but detailed
instructional drawings.
