| Hi- I don't have a specific sheepie book- but I'm in love with The Dog Listener: Learn How to Communicate with Your Dog for Willing Cooperation, by Jan Fennell It has a lot of great tips on creating a healthy, happy relationship with your dog- which is good no matter which breed you bring home!

| I've read The Dog Listener: Learn How to Communicate with Your Dog for Willing Cooperation, by Jan Fennell too, and really liked it. It's very helpful in the first few weeks especially! |
| Here are three books we have found helpful:
A New Owner's Guide to Old English Sheepdogs, by Marilyn Mayfield Pet Owner's Guide to the Old English Sheepdog, by Ruth Wilkinson All about the Old English Sheepdog, by Jean Gould Enjoy ! |
| I have acquired some books over time, and these are my favorites:
Old English Sheepdog (Kennel Club Dog Breed Series), by Ann Arch A New Owner's Guide to Old English Sheepdogs, by Marilyn Mayfield Old English Sheepdogs: Everything About Purchase, Care, Nutrition, Behavior, and Training (Complete Pet Owner's Manual), by Joan Hustace Walker, Michele Earle-Bridges Tarja |
| A couple books I like are:
The Art of Raising a Puppy, by New Skete Monks I think this is a great training book. How to Speak Dog, by Stanley Coren Mr. Coren is a Canadian author, so he speaks Dog and Canadian too, eh? |
| While not specifically addressed to OES, I think that The Dog's Mind: Understanding Your Dog's Behavior, by Bruce Fogle, Anne B. Wilson is a must for basic understanding of dog behavior and motivation. |
| Thanks everyone....I have lots of reading to do.
By the way, my husband and I just arrived at my parent's house in FL last night. I am in sheepie heaven here with Paddington- he is such a good boy! I can't wait to get our puppy |
