Talk:Gloucester Old Spot
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Added photo as requested. Sorry about the rather odd composition, the lie of the land and the position of the sun made it a bit difficult. Hope I've actually identified the breed correctly! --Blisco 21:14, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
I believe the name is officially "Gloucestershire Old Spots" (with an "s" on the end) all of the following sources use that spelling. Although the first source lists "Gloucester, Gloucester Old Spot, Goucestershire Old Spot" as alternatives, the only alternative I've noticed among breeders is the shorthand reference "the GOS". See: Oklahoma State[1] which is cited by the American Livestock Breeds Consevancy [2] and the breed association in the US [3]; for British refences see the Gloucestershire Old Spots Breeders Club[4] and the Rare Breeds Survival Trust [5]. --DDHME 22:53, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
