The beautiful cover of the Hugh Dalziel book "The Collie" (1904)

I started collecting Collie books and magazines when I first became interested in the breed in 1968. It has been my goal to acquire one of everything in print on the Collie and I have come very close to that goal. I have the largest collection of Collie breed material in the world and have an entire room devoted to the collection. The collection includes books, magazines, pictures, pamphlets, pedigrees and general paper.

There is a wealth of reading material available on the Collie breed. Below is a bibliography of known books on the Collie (non-fiction). Subjects range from breed history and development, bloodlines, breed pictorial studies, breed critiques, to care, breeding, training and feeding. They are an invaluable asset to any Collie owner's arsenal of information. Many of these books are over 100 years old. Many are out of print, but are still available. The older ones can be difficult to locate, but with perseverance and luck-- they are well worth the cost and effort! If you see any books missing, please let me know the title and other pertinent information. Also included is a complete list of all known Collie magazines.

A recent addition to my collection, the above book is probably the scarcest Collie book ever printed. I was not even sure of its true existence because I have never known one single person who owned a copy nor has anyone ever seen a copy. This includes old time breed experts in Britain. All I had to go on was an obscure ad in an old "Collie Folio", indicating the book was "ready shortly". I was never sure it actually went to print. After having this book on my want list for 35+ years, I was recently contacted by a book dealer in England. He found this copy at a charity shop in Nottingham and gave me first offer of refusal. Unfortunately it is missing some pages and part of the cover......nonetheless, I am thrilled to add this very scarce book to my collection. I am still seeking an intact copy!
