Remembering that your relative was the person who fought (for years) for retraining the WWII dogs (and fought against euthanizing the dogs after the war) took on so much more meaning after writing more entries about Dogs for Defense.

I breed and show both Cairn Terriers (commonly know as the “Toto” dog) & Welsh Terriers.

I think he had about 50 dogs over the years and based on what I have read about Dalmatians… it would fit the era and his social standing. I will start watching for mention of them, too! Thank you for reading/posting. The dogs have really been an interesting gateway to our American story.

My first shorthaired breed was a dal…………and I’ve done dalmatian rescue…so learned alot. But after adoping my first Dobe…….found my “breed.”

As always, thanks for doing this great column!
