THE FROM PUPPYHOOD TO CHAMPIONSHIP A HANDBOOK FOR BEGINNERS AUBREY
HOPWOOD -- PREFACE - SIDE by side with the growing popularity of a
picturesque and singularly fascinating breed there has arisen of
recent years, within my own experience, a demand for some simple
handbook which may serve to guide the footsteps of the beginner
amidst the minor obstacles of conflicting opinions. I would fain
have seen the task of its supply fulfilled by hands more competent
thafi mine. But I have reaped already an unforeseen reward in the
kindly encouragement extended to a comparative novice by one and
all of the well-known breeders and exhibitors to whom I have
applied for assistance. Amongst those to whom I owe a debt of
gratitude for invaluable hints, for permission to reproduce
illustrations, and for other friendly help, I take this opportunity
of thanking Mr. William G. Weager, one of the founders of the Old
English Sheep Dog Club Sir Humphrey de Trafford, its president Mr.
J. Thomas and Mr. Fre2man Lloyd, two of its original members Mr. T.
H. Shout, for many years its honorary secretary Messrs. Tilley, H.
Dickson, F. Clayton, Fred IVilmot, F. Travis, F. Birch, J. H.
Strick, Dr. MacGill, Mrs. Rivers and, in no small degree, Mrs. Fare
Fosse. For the chapter on breeding I am greatly indebted to a work
entitled Toogoods Prizcijles of Dog Breedilzg, published by Messrs.
Toogood Sons, Southampton, which I earnestly commend to the notice
of those who wish to study this important subject in a specially
practical form., One word with regard to the illustrations. Most of
them are from photographs, some of which fail entirely to do
justice to their subject, and I have included them only because no
betterportrait was available. I think that even an indifferent
picture conveys, to the mind of the beginner, a clearer mental
impression than pages of written description. A. H. CONTENTS IV.
