Excerpt from The Old English Sheep Dog From Puppyhood to Championship: A Handbook for Beginners

Ide by side with the growing popularity of a S 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 con¿icting opinions.

I would fain have seen the task of its supply fulfilled by hands more competent than 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.
