- This project was a collaboration with Prof. Mick Worboys (Life Sciences) and Dr. Neil Pemberton, the named research associate on an AHRC grant. The research and writing took seven years to complete. The book, approximately 110,000 words draws on sporting and breeding periodical literature, newspapers, the specialist publications and correspondence of ‘doggy people’ and breeders, advertisements, show reports, stud books and Kennel Club records. It made a pioneering contribution to understanding how and why the dog fancy formed in a particular historical context and how that context produced the ‘fancy dogs’ (and health problems) we live with today.
