Coles The Shetland Sheepdog - A Complete Anthology of Dog at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
The little working collie of the northern isles, caught in print within a decade of getting its name. The Shetland Sheepdog - A Complete Anthology of the Dog gathers breed chapters from the kennel literature of 1910 to 1931, among them J. Sidney Turner's The Kennel Encyclopaedia (1910) and Arthur Craven's Dogs of the World (1931). Turner is early enough to catch the breed at the point of recognition: registered by the Kennel Club in 1909, first as the Shetland Collie and then, after the Collie men objected, under the name it still carries. Bred small to work the crofts of Shetland, where islanders called it the Toonie dog, it arrives in these pages as a working animal being made into a show one. Points, temperament, coat and the celebrated winners are all set out, with the original photographs reproduced throughout. This edition features:
Breed chapters from the kennel encyclopaedias of 1910 to 1931
The breed at the point of Kennel Club recognition, and the naming dispute that followed
Points, coat and temperament, with the pedigrees of celebrated winners
The original photographs of the leading dogs of the era, reproduced throughout
