HISTORICAL PICTURES

The pictures from the old days (pre - WW 2 period) shown below are very useful as study objects, and most important these should be used as reference material. Through the years breeds are prone to new visions and breeding ideas which in the long run can affect the typical shape and breed features. Those "blueprints" displayed below should enable breeders to conserve the original type, form and breed features the proper way ! Enjoy the pictures from the old days !
