1916-SCOWL IS LACKING IN MODERN CHOW

Screen Shot 2014-03-21 at 10.21.14 AM

This article written in 1916 is pretty amazing to read, as it could have been as easily written today and still applied to many of our breed dilemas. Not only are the comments about the “scowl”  featured, but important points of the standard….. and reasons to CHANGE the standard are discussed.  A fascinating read.  I have made notations in RED  to draw attention to some interesting article highlights.

I do my best to be as accurate as possible in my research, however many times written history finds a way to "morph" over time. I love your comments and appreciate all feedback, additions and corrections my readers have to offer to help make this a well rounded and accurate archive.

    It truly is also to be doubted how familiar Geoffrey Rush could be with
    his king in 1930’s England with its rigid class program.
    Jump to avoid these. Thanks.
