Whip-smart and eager to please, Herding Dogs want nothing more than to work by your side.Like the Maxwell Award-winning "Toy Group", “Color Me Canine (Herding Group)” has details about each breed, from energy level to life expectancy, from coat care to trainability. Where do they come from? Do they shed? It's all in there.Each breed has a distinctive, non-copyrighted coloring page. Try to find the name of the breed somewhere on each page! All the artwork has been done by me, a multiple Maxwell award-winning artist. I love detailed, realistic, yet whimsical work and I hope you do too. On the inside back and front covers are precise full-color renditions of each breed. That way, you can either duplicate the actual colors or go wild; the inspiration (and the fun) will be all yours’.The plethora of breeds in the world never ceases to amaze me – there really is one for every circumstance and situation. I love the variety available and am astounded by the dedication of breeders who have worked so hard to create, maintain and improve our canine best friend.This is the second volume of my adult coloring book series “Color Me Canine”, which will eventually have all the AKC breeds.

In these uncertain times, it can be very soothing to just sit and draw.  But this must be the strangest coloring book you have ever picked up.First, I am a real artist, the kind that wins awards. These coloring pages are all drawn by me, personally. They are realistic but with a whimsical edge. Color Me Canine (Toy Group) took a 2020 Maxwell, the award of the Dog Writer's Association of America. Because you sometimes change your mind or even mess up – and sometimes your kids scribble on your stuff, there will be two copies of each breed’s coloring page.Which brings us to the descriptions. I just told you that I’m a working artist – but I’ve also written dog breed books, published dog books and bred my own Silky Terriers for the last coming up on 40 years producing over 120 AKC champions. So, I can speak with authority about dog breeds.I have lots and lots of friends, on social media and off. I’ve been asking everyone to describe to me their breed in three words. So, you’ll not only get my opinion but all my expert friends’ opinions as well.If you like coloring realistic drawings with just a bit of extra, I promise you will have fun with this book. For example, every coloring page has the breed name handwritten in the picture somewhere. I challenge you to find each one!If you are looking for your next canine buddy, or you just like oohing and ahhing over all the cool dogs, this book is for you.The plan is to have eight coloring books: one each for each American Kennel Club  Group – namely the Sporting, Hound, Working, Terrier, Non-Sporting, Toy, Herding and Miscellaneous Groups.Whew! I better get busy.Sandy Bergstrom Mesmer
