As for books, if you get anyone at all you should have "Sheltie Talk". I think it's out of print (but you can still find it used on Amazon) but I heard somewhere it may be reprinted soon.
Yes, the second edition is due to come out 'soon'. I've been on a waiting list for 4 months now. Hopefully sometime this spring!
Both my sheltie's breeders and other breeders I've talked with, they all strongly recommend this book!

Hi and welcome to the group......Coco is a cutie ... I love her coloring!!
I think the new edition will be much more than that, especially if it comes out in hard cover first!
and like I said, it keeps getting postponed! Chinook and Maia will be seniors at this rate!
