MistyMae Report post Posted July 16 Hi all, I am coming away from Jon Katz's A Good Dog (I didn't know going in... what a mistake ) and I was wondering if anyone had any book suggestions to cleanse the mind! I enjoy memoirs or history-- anything related to working Border collies, sheepdogging, or keeping sheep. I've read Donald McCaig's books, adored Patricia Mcconnell's Education of Will, and so forth. What else would you recommend? Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lawgirl Report post Posted July 17 I have not read it myself, but have read some good things about "The Shepherd's Life: A Tale of The Lakes District" by James Rebanks. Another British author is David Kennard, who writes about his sheep and his border collies. Again have not read his work myself, but seems to get good reviews.

gcv-border Report post Posted July 20 I liked James Rebanks. Donald McCaig used to be an active member of these boards before passing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D'Elle Report post Posted July 27 "Bones Would Rain From The Sky" by Suzanne Clothier. Gets 5 stars from me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although it's an older book and a lot of it's about training a working sheepdog I really like H. Glyn Jones' A Way of Life. I also enjoyed The Shepherds' Life by James Rebanks a lot too. More a story about his way of life shepherding than a training book. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
