Eric Salas (USA) One of America's leading dog trainers and educators
Education is the key!
This book answers the hardest questions about dogs. This book is not just about herding breeds it is about parts, form and function- perfect examples to teach my students about what correct looks like and to teach you, in a very simple way, to develop a perfect eye for a dog.
No matter what breed you have, no matter what answer you're looking for, this book will provide so many answers.
The only bad thing about this book is that it will sell out one day, and if you wait too long, your competitors will have a copy and you won’t. If you are new to showing dogs, a judge, a veterinarian, a dog trainer in any discipline, this will be your prized possession.
I challenge anyone, when you receive your copy, to open any page and not be amazed at what useful advice you can find every single time. There is no magic wand; there is no secret pill of knowledge. The internet is full of dead ends when you're trying to find answers, and this book has every answer.
Thank you, Louis Donald, for giving me the best tool to teach my students about dogs!

Thank you so much Louis, I am in absolutely awe of the knowledge at my fingertips with this book.
Flicking through the 36 pages of "table of contents" and seeing how in-depth the book goes for every little factor in anatomy and locomotion is just mind blowing!
I am so glad I invested the money in this !

Another book to keep learning from.
Today I received a new treasure for my library, Herding and Droving Dogs, perfectly packaged and all the way from Australia
Another fascinating book to add to my collection, and another opportunity to continue learning about dogs, their history, their working abilities, and the purpose behind the development of each breed.
Thank you, Louis Donald, for this wonderful book and for continuing to share your knowledge and passion for dogs.
Because in the world of dogs, you never stop learning.

Louis Donald , this book is just amazing and as with your first book "The Definitive German Shepherd Dog" , the detailed information , diagrams and photos in this book are phenomenal!!
Both books are for anyone who loves dogs but imo both should be mandatory reading for all judges, not just conformation judges but performance judges too.
IMO this book is mind-blowing. Thank you , I am so looking forward to reading it.

"Every Working Dog Carries a Story"
About the Author:
Alongside his judging, breeding and administrative experience, Louis has devoted much of his life to studying canine anatomy, movement, breed type and the functional development of the German Shepherd Dog.
He is the author of The Definitive German Shepherd Dog, an extensive reference work with 2,000 copies sold to readers in 85 countries.
His latest book, Herding and Droving Dogs: History, Anatomy and Locomotion, expands this work across 51 herding and droving breeds. It combines breed history and international breed standards with detailed chapters on canine anatomy, biomechanics and locomotion, illustrated through outstanding examples of each breed.
Through his books, lectures, judging and mentoring, Louis continues to share the knowledge accumulated over more than six decades, guided by the principles established by his mentors: honesty, integrity, respect for functional purpose and an unwavering commitment to the welfare and future of the dog.
