Dogs From The Past - 1800's - WOW

Doggies4Evers · 05-10-2007, 08:53 PM

This site contains photos of dogs from the 1800’s that are on display in the museum of England called: Rothschild Zoological Museum. Where photo has’s of dog breeds that are now 100% no longer with us. Even the breeds we have today however what some used to look like is very different indeed to what those breeds are today. Some breeds haven’t changed to much which is a good history lesson in dogs. Really interesting, just feel bad people killed off some of the breeds off. Some breeds we have now where almost killed of from not wanting our enimies from getting the breed. Ie: china with pekinese I believe it was. There's a hamster sized dog!?! That would be smaller then a chi! Crazyness. Wonder if the stars would have the hamster sized dog instead of the chi around in there purses.

I've seen the old school Dobermans and they look quite different

What an interesting website!

Thanks for posting the link. It's so amazing to see what some dogs used to look like hundreds of years ago.

Hmmm...I don't know about some of them. Would a dog developed in Mexico really have such a thick coat? Could it just be that it's a puppy from a breed someone brought in from another country? Are they documented breeds or just people making assumtions?
