If you go the British wool board http://www.britishwool.org.uk/factsheet1.asp?pageid=94 The places they put breeds is not where we would but them. I don't know if the reads are different in Britten as it is very difficult to import animals into England so often the same bread is very different in England than it is here. I only know this from dog breads. But I imagine it is similar with other animals. The other thing is when was the book originally printed or updated. Reprinted is not updated. Unfortunately just because it is still in print and used as a reference does not mean it is up to date. I have one that the bread descriptions are not what I know so I checked and though it is still in print the book was originally printed in 1932. That is a long time in animal breeding. I think looking up the breed group from your own country. I know they are somewhat biased but are at least more up to date. A lot depends on opinion. In a resent book I was reading, written by someone in one of the northern European countries, she is of the opinion that the only wool that makes good felt is wool from double coated bread. That eliminates most breeds of sheep. Ann
