A rabbiter's pack, Darling district

  • Viewoftheworld said:
    Interesting collection of dogs. Is there any information on breeds in the photo?
  • Wheelistically said:
    @Viewoftheworld: IMHO, it looks to me like five Greyhounds and five terriers (Possibly Jack Russells although I'll appreciate any further insight on this). 'Hounds would be good for the chase (and strangle/shake their prey as opposed to mauling it, which is of benefit to the "Rabbiter") - no doubt the terriers would be used for digging their way into the mouths of warrens, should the rabbits try to escape underground.
  • Alyssa Croucher said:
    @ Wheelistically - I definately agree the terriers would have been used to dig into the warrens but I thought I'd just add that when my dad was young (which I should mention was not really that long ago, late 60's - 70's) he would go 'rabbiting' with ferrets (i.e. stick them down one hole to chase the rabbits out the other end into a wheat bag). I wonder if these rabbiters would do that too? Or if that was the job of the terriers back then?

    Olivier Thank you!

    DannyM8 Thank you, resident canophile! :) So this 1749 engraving might have been published to tie in with her wedding in September 1749 then?

Crown Prince Germany (LOC)

  • Art Siegel said:
    Crown Prince Wilhelm of Prussia, 1921 in exile in Wieringen with dog. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm,_German_Crown_Prince "After the outbreak of the German Revolution in 1918, both Emperor Wilhelm II and the Crown Prince signed the document of abdication. On 13 November, the former Crown Prince fled Germany, crossed into the Netherlands at Oudvroenhoven and was later interned on the island of Wieringen (now part of the mainland), near Den Helder. In the autumn of 1921, Gustav Stresemann visited Wilhelm, and the former Crown Prince voiced an interest in returning to Germany, even as a private citizen. After Stresemann became chancellor in August 1923, Wilhelm was allowed to return after giving assurances that he would not engage in politics."
