io6 THE OLD ENGLISH SHEEP DOG 



Don't exhibit a dog unless you can accompany him to 

 the show yourself, or get a reliable friend to do so for you. 

 Don't exhibit young puppies at all. 



Above all things, don't suppose when you have read 

 this book that you have mastered all there is to learn 

 about bob-tails. You haven't. Nor have I. 



If you prove successful, as I sincerely hope you may, 

 you will be fully justified in heartily congratulating 

 yourself. 



If you don't which is not impossible you will be 

 quite at liberty to abuse me. 



And so, my patient friends, I take my leave, wishing 

 you, one and all, the very best of luck. 



THE END.
