1820 Breeds Destroying Mice Past Rats Resembling Terrier Today
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image transports us back in time to the early 19th century, where an Old Type Terrier stands proudly, embodying the spirit of a bygone era. The Old Type Terrier, a precursor to today's Black & Tan Terrier, was a popular breed among farmers and hunters for its exceptional skills in eliminating rodents, particularly rats and mice. Dating back to the 1820s, this early photograph showcases the breed's distinctive features - a powerful build, piercing eyes, and the striking tan coat that sets it apart. The Old Type Terrier's historical significance lies in its role as a relentless hunter and protector, making it an invaluable asset to those living in rural communities. As you gaze into the eyes of this ancient canine, you can almost hear the echoes of the past - the sound of farmers calling their dogs to work, the rustle of leaves as they chase down their quarry, and the satisfaction of a job well done. This photograph is not just a beautiful work of art, but a testament to the rich history of the Old Type Terrier and the essential role it once played in our agricultural past. The Old Type Terrier's legacy continues to live on, as its modern counterpart, the Black & Tan Terrier, remains a beloved companion and hunter. This image serves as a reminder of the deep connection between man and dog, and the enduring bond that has existed for centuries.
