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.

Yes !
Size: 0.47 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I order these every summer. My youngest is sensitive to sunscreens but this had always worked for him. The stick is handy when it comes time to re-apply and can stick in my purse for a quick trip to the park.

Great for running!
Size: 0.47 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This sunscreen does the job and does it well! It doesn’t smear or run and I didn’t experience any stinging around my eyes. Also, my face felt super soft after my 5K which was a nice bonus!

Easy Sun Protection for Wiggly Babies
Size: 0.47 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This product is easy to apply, even with a wiggly 10-month-old – which is saying something! Despite the challenge of a moving target, I will definitely purchase this again because it's a great applicator and provides excellent sun protection.

Gentle enough for my child to use on their own at school
Size: 0.47 Ounce (Pack of 1)
My child has been using this Aveeno sunscreen since they were a baby.👶 It’s always been gentle on their skin, and we’ve never had any issues with irritation or rashes. The texture is thick, more like a balm, so it doesn’t run or make a mess.Now that they’re older and going to school, I pack it in their backpack. The small jar is easy for them to open and apply by themselves before recess or outdoor activities. They usually put it on their face and arms, and it spreads easily without feeling sticky. I like that it’s not heavily scented and doesn’t leave a white film on their skin.❤️❤️❤️It’s been reliable over the years, and the size makes it easy to keep on hand.
