About the Author
This beautiful limited edition volume memorializes the vision, wisdom and wit of one of the great breeders in Collie history. "Minor detail" was an oxymoron in the vocabulary of Bobbee Roos as she immersed herself into her passion for this most beautiful of purebred dogs. You'll enjoy each article and realize the scope of her knowledge and share her inquisitiveness to understand the how and why of the challenges that continually test the determination and character of one dedicated to excellence.
Early on, Bobbee realized that creating the best would be a team effort. In light of this, she made it her mission to share her knowledge and questions as they presented themselves. Other breeders were enjoined to share their discoveries, efficiencies and challenges and Bobbee's place in history will be one of establishing a network of communication that made information available to master breeder and novice alike, leveling the field for all. She did this in many ways - as a writer, a teacher, a mentor, a judge, and by making herself available to hash out the issues of a day with others, whether at a show, seminar, or social event. Comfortable in all venues, she put others at east and created an atmosphere conducive to learning, thought, and understanding.
