Since 1876 the Ekka has continued to grow in popularity and size, remaining one of the most anticipated yearly events. It has been held annually at the Brisbane Showgrounds since its inception except for two instances — in 1919 at the height of the Spanish influenza epidemic and in 1942 during World War II when the grounds were used as a staging depot for troops. Strange but true 1. A key event at the first show in 1876 was a competition for the best sample of 5 tonnes of manure, deodorized and prepared in the most economical form of use. 2. The first-ever show bag was a bag of coal. 3. In the 1920s a flock of 90 sheep was used to maintain the lawns at the Brisbane Showgrounds. 4. At the first show, there was a competition for the fastest walking farm horse. 5. Main Arena entertainment continued to expand in 1966 with the Zacchini family presenting a human cannonball act — with the father coordinating, the mother firing and their children propelled across the ring into a net. 6. During the Great Depression new entertainment was introduced including goat races that attracted some 100 competitors in a single show. 7. There was no Sideshow Alley in 1876, just a lone individual known as the ‘lightning calculator,’ whose facility with numbers amazed the crowds.

The Human is a Man but the Dog is NOT a Schnauzer... Try instead Terrier.

Known to be highly intelligent, strong-willed and high-spirited, the standard schnauzer is easily trained and loyal. Their intelligence can be a blessing or curse in disguise. Source: www.hillspet.com/dog-care/dog-breeds/standard-schnauzer

Vesna Verencevic . as suggested earlier, the dog is not schnauzer, of any size, not even 74 years ago

Giant_Schnauzer ok thank you for noticing, I will enter Terrier info. Cheers

Terriers The Terrier group consists of both big and small dogs, but members of this group more than any other share a common ancestry and similar behavioral traits. Terriers were bred to rid barns and stables of vermin, to dig out unwanted burrowing rodents, and to make themselves generally useful around the stable. Terriers were used in the “poor man’s recreation” of rat killing, especially in England where most of these breeds originated. Upper classes used terriers in foxhunting. They also were bred to fight each other in pits—hence the name pit bulls. During the late 1900s, dogfighting was outlawed in most states and countries of the Western world, and these dogs were thereafter bred for a friendly temperament rather than for aggressiveness.
