Steve Baxley is a passionate author and lifelong advocate for Collies, dedicating his career to preserving and sharing the rich history of this beloved breed. His journey began with the publication of Sterling Insight, a manuscript authored by Edwin L. Pickhardt that had been lost for over 50 years. Driven by his commitment to Collie's heritage, Steve felt compelled to bring this invaluable piece of Collie's history back to life, ensuring that future generations could appreciate the breed's deep roots.

Steve's second book, Chance’s Choices, is a heartwarming children’s story that follows the adventures of a service dog puppy. Written to inspire young readers, the book highlights important life lessons about making wise choices, staying safe, and becoming responsible citizens. Chance’s Choices also serves a greater purpose, as it was written as a fundraiser for Palmetto Service Dogs, a nonprofit organization that provides service dogs to children with autism and disabled veterans.

In his latest book, Collie-o-logy, Steve jumps into the breed’s history, offering a full guide for anyone interested in purchasing, breeding, or showing Collies in conformation. This work is a testament to his dedication to the breed, combining historical insights with practical advice for Collie supporters. Steve continues to work on additional Collie history books, focusing on the family lines and traits that have been foundational to the breed since its early days.
