A working spitz of the north, bred down to a lapful of coat in a single reign.

The Pomeranian - A Complete Anthology of the Dog gathers chapters from the rare kennel literature of 1879 to 1931, among them Vero Shaw's The Illustrated Book of the Dog (1879), Arthur Craven's Dogs of the World (1931) and A. Croxton Smith's About Our Dogs (1931). They catch a breed in the middle of a transformation: descended from the sled and herding dogs of the north, it halved in size across Queen Victoria's lifetime, after her own small red sable, Marco, set the fashion.

The chapters cover the coat and its many colours - shaded sable, orange, parti-colour, whole-colour - the points as the judges read them, and the great show kennels of Britain and America, with the original photographs reproduced throughout.

This edition features:

• Chapters from the rare kennel literature of 1879 to 1931, by the authorities of their day
• The breed's rapid reduction in size traced by writers who watched it happen
• Coat, colour and points, with the leading show kennels of Britain and America
• The original photographs of the leading dogs of the era, reproduced throughout
