"what I was saying is that if a breed originates in England, it is the British and not some other nation who define its characteristics."
I think they can define what the breed started as and what it is in Britten. However since the English exported sheep all over the world, they have changed a lot. I think what you have to do is say "American Dorset's have this characteristic". Or "Australian cheviots have that characteristic" just a change in the climate and feed will change a breed. However if they are still purebred Dorset's or cheviots then why would you change the name? The breeds are more than their wool as well. In many parts of the world the wool is secondary. There is no market for Canadian Wool. It costs more to sheer it than you get for it. Shepherds' Spring Farm North Gower On.
