Mongrel Puppy Examined by Two Pedigree Dogs in the Park: A Peek into the Past of Canine Breeding (1914) This image, titled "Mongrel puppy examined by two pedigree dogs in the park," transports us back to the early 1910s, showcasing a scene of canine curiosity and inquiry. The photograph, taken in 1914, features a young mongrel puppy lying on the grass, its ears perked up and eyes fixed on two pedigree dogs - a Dalmatian and a Labrador - who scrutinize the puppy's every feature. The Dalmatian, with its distinctive black spots, and the Labrador, with its black coat and distinctive otter-like snout, stand over the mongrel, their expressions a mix of intrigue and skepticism. The Dalmatian, with its regal bearing and piercing gaze, seems to be the more critical of the two, while the Labrador, with a more relaxed demeanor, appears to be considering the mongrel's potential merits. The scene is reminiscent of a veterinary examination, with the pedigree dogs opening their mouths to inspect the mongrel's teeth, a common practice in determining a dog's age and health. The mongrel, despite the intense scrutiny, seems unperturbed, its tail wagging gently. The photograph, published in a turn-of-the-century book, offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of dog breeding and the importance of pedigree and lineage in the canine world. It also highlights the bond between humans and their dogs, as well as the dogs' natural curiosity and desire to explore the world around them. This image, with its timeless appeal and historical significance, is a must-have for any dog lover, historian, or collector of vintage illustrations. It is a reminder of the rich history and diverse world of dogs, and the enduring connection between humans and their canine companions.
