Britain s Kennel Club has noted a drop in puppy registrations for the breed
The Old English Sheepdog, one of Britain s most recognisable dog breeds, has been listed for the first time as vulnerable to extinction after a drop in popularity, the British Kennel Club has said.
The move by the club, Britain s biggest organisation devoted to dog health, welfare and training, follows declining numbers since the breed s heyday in the late 1970s.
