A Weakness for Dogs: Memoir of a Life with Border Collies chronicles over three decades of immersion in the world of Border Collies—from the author’s first encounter with the breed as a novice handler and urban dweller to becoming an accomplished trainer, breeder, and competitor in sheepdog trials across the United States and Europe. Through vivid reflections on the joys and challenges of working with these remarkable dogs, the narrative explores the deep bond between human and animal, highlighting each dog’s unique personality, instincts, and talents. It delves into the art and complexity of training and trialing, examining ongoing debates about the primacy of instinct versus handler control and the nuances of judging in competition. Both an engaging personal journey and an insightful guide, this memoir will captivate Border Collie enthusiasts, animal lovers, and anyone curious about the centuries-old partnership between shepherd and dog.

About the Author

A retired historian of rural Britain, Albion M. Urdank taught at UCLA for 34 years before retiring in 2019. His scholarly work includes two books on rural Gloucestershire and an article on the history of British sheepdog trials. Born in Los Angeles and raised in New York, he earned a Ph.D. from Columbia University. A chance encounter with Border Collies after a divorce sparked a lifelong passion that led from novice handler to international competitor, representing the U.S. at the first World Sheepdog Championship in Ireland in 2005. The author now lives on a small ranch in Nuevo, California, where he raises sheep and trains Border Collies.

Nice quality bag, very stylish
Color: Mk Signature/Vanilla/Acorn, Color: Mk Signature/Vanilla/Acorn
This Michael Kors small duffle crossbody is a cute play on a travel bag. From the adjustable strap that mimics a heavy duty duffle bag to the outer pocket that can hold little what-nots, and the roomy innermost part of it, this bag is very stylish. The material is heavy duty, yet high quality. It doesn’t feel like it is cheap or so delicate it won’t last long with care, or scuff or scratch easily. The material, canvas, hardware, handles, and straps are high quality, and very rich in color. The bag has enough storage capacity allows for my phone,, cosmetics, keys, wallet, and AirPods, with some room left over. The zippers don’t catch or appear they will break easily. I’ve been able easily open and close the bag and pockets with no issues. Overall, this bag is great quality and very stylish. The color goes great with neutral tones and all black. I enjoy carrying with while dressed up or down. Very happy with this bag.
