DOG BREEDS IN 1923

This collection of dog breeds is from an encyclopedia published in 1923. Some of the breeds look quite different from their modern counterparts. The traditional 1923 hair-style for the French poodle was corded, much like the modern Komondor and Puli breeds. The encyclopedia referred to the "plum pudding" Dalmatian as "almost extinct". "Boarhound" is the old name for a Great Dane.
