Major Edwin Sydney Woodiwiss (1871-1942) was a driving force in both the very early cat and dog fancy in England. He had a profound effect on the development of both the Siamese and Abyssinian breed under the WOODROOFFE cattery name, plus he also bred English (British) Shorthairs and Manx. He was well-known for his winning dogs - Dachshund and Schipperke.
