On-line Time Machine
Just about every month, I stumble upon yet another gold mine of on-line archives providing (usually) free access to thousands of old magazines, books, and film footage. Last week, I came across some truly fascinating clips of pointing dogs.
Here is a short film from Scotland that shows just how big some of the Pointer and Setter kennels had become by the 1930s. |
And here is a short documentary from France that shows a fascinating mix of breeds, from Pointers and Setters to Britannies, Braques and Korhtals Griffons. |
In this short clip, we see some of the last remaining specimens of the Griffon Boulet, a pointing breed that is now extinct. I wrote about the Griffon Boulet previously here. |
And finally, here is a piece about Pointers and Setters being trained and running in trials on the Canadian prairies. |
