 A Dog Year May 5, 2008

This is a wonderful book. It's hysterical at times and moving at times. This is the first Jon KAtz book I had the pleasure of reading and I have now read most of them. As the parent of a Border Collie let me tell you he hits the nail on the head. Mine are not as amusing, however they are just as smart. I would definitely recommend reading this book if you are thinking of getting a Border Collie for yourself, it may make yout think twice. They are wonderful dogs, but you should be aware of what you may be getting yourself into. Jon Katz has a writing style that will draw you in and you won't be able to put this book down or wait to go get your next one.
 Wonderful characterizations of his 4-legged friends. April 28, 2008

A review from the author of Born Without a Tail:
This was an enjoyable read. I particularly liked Katz's characterizations of his labradors, Stanley and Julius. I'm not a big lab fan, but these two stole my heart. This book is a pretty accurate description of life in a multi-dog household. Katz recounts some very funny experiences with his dogs: one of my favorites was when he retrieved the blue ball from the storm drain.

WHat a jerk this guy is. Please do not buy his books. He is the epitome of the stupid, narcississtic dog buyer whose actions fiill our shelters with "broken" or "not quite right for me" dogs.
I hope someday he gets "broken"and his wife thinks about putting him down. WHat a creep.

My mom just called me crying. "What are you trying to do to me?" she asked. OK, there are some sad moments in this book. Brings back memories of my golden retriever Spencer who we had to put down almost two years ago. Unlike Katz, of course, we waited TOO long. I may not agree with him on when it should be done but I know I waited too long with Spencer. I have promised my two year old border collie that I won't be so selfish with her. Enough of that! Laughed my butt off reading this book! I have fought and suffered and loved the last two years with a very difficult border collie. She's my first one. And I'll add, the last puppy BC that I'll own in an urban environment! Cars, joggers, kids, skateboarders, etc. If it moves she'll try to stop it. If you have enjoyed the terror of owning BCs then this book is for you! Glad I'm not the only one experiencing it!
Dogs rock and so does this book! January 5, 2008

I found this book to be a helpful guide into helping me understand my two border collies. I know some people do not like Katz, but I really enjoyed this book and urge you to give it a chance!
