Imported from the UK this book is the first of a new three part series, Collie Psychology author, Carol Price, helps us to achieve a greater understanding of the highly complex yet hugely intelligent Border Collie. She takes us back to the origins of the Collie, looking at how genetic make-up and the founding dogs of the breed have influenced its character, mannerisms and behaviour today. She analyses why these traits were sought after and how they present themselves in the modern day version of the breed, as well as the best way to manage them in order to create a happy and relaxed dog.

She also discovers many similarities between how the mind of the Collie works with the autistic human, leading her to pose the question: does an autistic spectrum exist in the breed?
