Kirty Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 (edited) Very interesting indeed. Do you know what I noticed though... The dogs who are more hunting/working type dogs (Deerhound, Setters, Terriers, etc) have not changed much at all, but the 'less useful' (for want of a better word! LOL!) dogs, the 'pretty' dogs have changed HEAPS! Look at that gorgeous Bulldog. ETA: Did you see the branding on some of the hunting dogs?

Parkeyre Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I didn't find an Australian shepherd, but i love how much of the working breeds remain similiar.. collies etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greytmate Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 That is a very interesting book. A few dog's names have changed over the years as well as some of the dogs changing. Looks like some of the dogs may no longer be around at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gayle. Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Wow, the cocker spaniel and the bull terrier have changed heaps! And the Shetland Sheepdog looks like a little Border Collie and nothing like the Sheltie we see today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poodlemum Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 It looks to me as though the poodles pictured may have had a coarser coat - certainly they look a good deal "scruffier" than the Poodles you see in the showring nowadays (athough not as scruffy as my 2 reprobates ) I particularly noticed the nice, straight back on the German Shepherd - doesn't have that "deformed" sloping-back look that GSDs have now.

New Age Outlaw Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Great book! Did you see the Italian Greyhound? It looks like it had a chihuahua head transplanted on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loving my Oldies Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 In the "BBC program that will not be name", there were some examples of dogs from decades ago and one of the saddest changes to me was the Basset Hound. The Basset Hound of the late 1800s was absolutely gorgeous. Nothing like the dog of today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Basset Hound of the late 1800s was absolutely gorgeous. Nothing like the dog of today. I used to see a basset at dog school - and totally agree with you. The basset pictured in this book is by FAR a better looking dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megan_ Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 (edited) Some changes surprised me - the schnauzer in particular. Not being a "trendy" breed, I thought it would have stayed much the same? Interesting comment about its temperament a nervous dog! Edited January 4, 2010 by megan_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mersonmalinois Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 The Belgian Shepherd (Malinois) looks very much like a good specimen does today. The Flat Coat too. Funny how the GSD back then was a square dog. Here is a website that has several corded Poodle pics: http://moondancestandardpoodles.piczo.com/...;linkvar=000044 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jed Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 (edited) Great book. Huge changes in the boxer, but it was a very "young" breed then. I'll take the ones we have today, thanks.
