How Have Breeds Changed Over the Years?

Ref your chosen breed, or a breed you are really interested in. I thought it would be interesting and educational to have a thread with different pics and info , of how breeds have changed over many years. Then and now..........

Anyone

Not too much!

Lab in 1856:



One of the founding dogs of the breed.

He looks like a lovely lad. Now I noticed one difference ,his white mitts xxxxxxxxx

This is an interesting topic for a thread. I remember pictures shown in a few newspapers about that documentary about the kennel club (I think?) a few months back. Well you could see differences between original breeds and how they are now as the show breeds.

Thanks Harry xxxxx I hope it takes off as think it will be great to see the diff breeds and how they have changed. I know that show dogs can differ to lets say, a working dog of the same breed , those pics could be put on too maybe ? xxxxxxx

From the crippled beast that could barely drag its own weight up the garden path....




...to the magnificent athelete of today.



100 years of KC mismanagement.

That is brilliant Thank you

They looked so much like the ABD of today, in the early days.

great thread
it will be interesting to see the changes through the years

My breed has changed HUGELY!!

Mainly because they beacame popular for their wrinkles, the cute factor and also the fighting culture so they were bred with far too many to the point they were unable to see and had numerous skin problems, things are much better now but they still look alot different to the "original pei"

Original Pei



My boy now

They look like different breeds.

The first one reminds me of a Thai Ridgeback.
