Dog Breeds -- Then and Now

[Suki Wingy]

I need to scan some early pictures from my Dal book, but here are some more notable ones. I personally think this breed has improved a lot since the early 20th century. I think some of the best dogs, judging from photographs, came from the mid 20th century.

I'll update later with better pictures, of dogs I like and don't like. For now, here are some random ones.

Ch. Tally Ho Last of Sunstar (BOB Nat'l Specialty 1931)


Ch. Tally Ho Sirius (BOB Nat'l Specialty 1939)


CH Korcula Midnight Star
Bret D


Ch. Merry Go Round Mach Ten (Top winner from a few years ago)


Ch. TCJ Satins Star Appeal (Top winning dal of today, I like him and I've seen him show a few times)


Ch. Panore of Watseka (b. 1969)


Ch. Fireman's Freckled Friend (Don't like him as much)


Ch. Lord Jim (very winning and a popular stud choice of the time. I think he looks way too hound like, which is more apparent in other photos I've seen of him)

Who knew Basset Hounds used to actually be cute and were not cursed with all that saggy skin?

1870's

Pugs used to be cute, too! I can't find any photos, but they used to have faces.

All dogs are cute imho, even pugs and bassets.

They aren't cute when the way they are bred today causes them to have serious health issues.

Very interesting bout the Dals! I do not know anything about the breed, but just based on pictures it seems they haven't changed to much over the years...

Will be interested to see the other pictures you post later...
