I have some questions regarding dogs in 1800s America. What breeds would go unremarked in a town setting? Were boys often seen with dogs in tow?

Where in America are you talking about?

Have you tried contacting their historical society and asking for pictures of boys with dogs?

From the quick google searches I did, bird hunting dogs seemed to be slightly popular in America.

Of course, why didn't I think of that.



In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.
