The Old English Sheepdog

London England: Popular Dogs, 1973. Hardback. First Edition. Slight foxing to edge. There has recently been a remarkable upsurge in the popularity of this attractive and historic breed. The Kennel Club's annual registration figure is now more than fifteen times the total of ten years ago. This rapid increase in the appeal of the Old English Sheepdog has stressed the need for this practical and informative book about the Bobtail. Mrs. Davis has been concerned with dogs for most of her life and at the age of 14 was on the committee of a canine society. She has kept Bobtails for a number of years and is a Championship Show Judge both at home and abroad. In addition to her work as an officer or committee-member of several breed clubs, she contributes breed notes to Our Dogs. With its chapters on origins, the breed standard, the puppy, breeding, showing and common ailments, this book makes a notable addition to Popular Dogs' long-established series of breed books.
