Originally published in the 1940s, this important book on the Shetland Sheepdog has been republished by VINTAGE DOG BOOKS as part of their CLASSIC BREED BOOKS series. The book is essentially a hand picked compilation of information on all aspects of the Sheltie which have been written by all those contributors to the canine press who have ever given anything of value to the breed. It is a monument to them of all the facts they have so carefully recorded for the benefit of the Shetland Sheepdog and his owner. One hundred and sixty eight pages contain fourteen Comprehensive Chapters: The Home and Origin of the Shetland Sheepdog. The History of the Breed Including its Clubs. The Mental Traits and Work of the Breed. Physical Characteristics and Standard Interpretation. A Summary of the Crises Situation. The Theory of Breeding to Type. Breeding Shetland Sheepdogs to Type. Shetland Sheepdog Strains in Great Britain. In America. Pedigrees. Shetland Sheepdog Male Lines and Female Families. Show Management. Kennel Management. Diseases and Medical Care. Dog Breeding as a Profession. The contents are well illustrated with vintage photographs of famous Shetland Sheepdogs. This is a fascinating read for any Sheltie enthusiast or historian of the breed, but also contains much information that is still useful and practical today. Many of the earliest dog breed books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. VINTAGE DOG BOOKS are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.Keywords: Shetland Sheepdog Shetland Sheepdogs Breed Books Mental Traits StandardInterpretation Books Series Sheltie Pedigrees Hand Picked 1940s Crises Great Britain Compilation Essentially
