БЛАГОДАРНОСТИ

Author's Acknowledgement

Joan Palmer would like to thank the Kennel Club for their kindness in granting permission for extracts from standards to be quoted; also the numerous breed club secretaries and other individuals, too numerous to list who, in many cases, went to considerable trouble to provide background information on their breeds. Addresses of breed club secretaries in the United Kingdom can be obtained from The Kennel Club, 1-4 Clarges Street, Piccadilly, London, W1Y SAB.

Thanks are also due to the Pedigree Petfoods Education Centre for their assistance, to The National Dog Owners Association, and to Mrs. Joy Deacon who did so much typing.
