Thursday. In the morning a small portion of dry 

 Flako, mixed with part of the contents of a 

 sheep's head. In the evening a liberal meal of 

 Rodnim, soaked in the sheep's head broth, with 

 vegetables, and the bones of the sheep's head as 

 a savoury. 



Thus it is possible to go on from day to day, never 

 giving the same meal twice consecutively, providing 

 the dogs with the nourishment they require and enjoy, 

 without allowing them to tire of any particular form 

 of it. 



Meanwhile, and at all times, they are to be allowed 

 a plentiful supply of clean, fresh water, always easily 

 accessible, and renewed just as often as required. 



For every ordinary purpose this will be found a 

 generous and liberal diet, on which the average bob-tail 

 will flourish and thrive. 



But the man who loves his dogs and carefully studies 

 their idiosyncrasies will speedily find that individual 

 cases call for individual treatment. It is astonishing to 

 note how widely two animals, born of the same parents 

 and brought up under identical conditions, may differ 

 in their tastes. Thus it will often be found that one 

 turns up a supercilious nose at any form of food unless 

 it be well soaked and almost liquid, while his litter 

 brother rarely makes a hearty meal except on dry food. 



Every breeder who aspires to develop an Old English 

 Sheep Dog to the most perfect animal form attainable
