Book recommendations?

I am getting my first sheepie puppy at the end of the month! Does anyone have any book recommendations for a rookie OES owner? I'm looking for something fairly comprehensive with info. on health, behavior, grooming, etc. for puppies and adult OES. Thanks!

Welcome to the Forum from Barney and Maggie in St. Louis.

I have 2 in my library:

A New Owner's Guide to Old English Sheepdogs; Marilyn Mayfield; 1999 edition. TFH Publications. ISBN 0-7938-2795-7.

Old English Sheepdogs; Joan Hustace Walker; 1999. Barron's Educational Series. ISBN 0-7641-0735-6
Thanks for the recommendation. I just got the book by Walker today and have already read through the whole thing. It has everything I was looking for. Thanks again!
The Dog Listener, by Jan Fennell. It's the book that taught me how to be the Pack Leader around here!

Welcome, and Good Luck :D

He has many books on different topics, so take your pick! Before you Get Your Puppy and After You Get Your Puppy might be good choices for you.

But even if you don't get any of his, make sure anything you buy is written by a qualified behaviorist, with proper credentials....and it should be fairly recent...say in the last 10 - 15 years or so.
