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:
