More Breeds are Lost
So it was that the systems of
progeny testing, testing stations, nucleus herds and AI stations
envied all around the world were established. Naturally the three
breeds identified by the committee went from strength to strength
but for the rest began a long period of decline. In less than 15
years the number of breeds listed in the table above had been
reduced by one third. Four of those breeds, The Cumberland, The
Dorset Gold Tip, The Yorkshire Blue and White and the Lincolnshire
Curly Coat were lost forever and two breeds the Essex and the Wessex
Saddleback were amalgamated into a single breed the British
Saddleback.
