Oil painting "Man and Dog"

Monet Irish water hounds have a very old pedigree, which has been confirmed by Allen J Stern's research report. It was reported in four articles of196510-April, purebred dogs-bulletin of American kennels. It is mentioned in the article that Harvey's archaeological expedition 1934 ~ 1936 excavated some remains of Irish water hounds in a lake near Dawes Lin Hao. The medium-sized skull, clear and regular forehead and nose steps and obvious vault confirm that this dog lived in the 7th or 8th century BC. The same type of skull was also found in the lake area of Central Europe, which appeared in the late Stone Age and the Bronze Age. The sculptures in the ruins of ancient Rome are very similar to Irish water dogs. /kloc-On the eve of the 20th century, before the Kingdom of Micas II, dogs found under the river shannon in southern Ireland were called Shennuo Hound, Irish Water Hound, Rat-tailed Hound or Whip-tailed Hound. Mr. Robert Cecil is an Irishman. He once gave an Irish water hound to the king of France in 1598. 1607, Topsell described the Irish water hound in his book History of Quadrupeds, with a long body, rough and curly hair and a little bald or naked tail. Captain thomas brown described/kloc-an Irish water hound with long ears in the early 8th century. These evidences show that dogs known as southern Irish water hounds were well established centuries before the legendary "porteswans" (1834 ~1852). Portes Wan Dog is a famous ancestor of many excellent gun hounds and display dogs, and is considered as the earliest known breed. Portes Wan (of unknown descent) was created by Justine Micas. The development of Irish water hounds remained controversial until portes Wan was recognized by breeding, exhibition and kennel club officials. 1849, its ancestor "Jack" appeared in many early families. The first classification of Irish water hounds appeared in 1859. 1866, Doctor (grandson of portes Wan) won the championship in Buckinghamshire. An oil painting, Rick, cultivated by 1864, is of ten thousand people's descent in portes, showing Irish water hounds of the same age. In the United States, four newly imported Irish water hounds appeared in the exhibition of18.77 million Westminster kennel club, and one of them was 1873 imported from Ireland. Irish water hounds are often called the clown of the hound family, which may be due to their strange appearance and some curly hair between their eyes. It may be the tallest hound. Generally, they are loyal to people they know and indifferent to strangers. It is mainly a water hound, not only because it likes water, but also because its fur is very natural and elegant. Because of this, it is used to retrieve ducks in some parts of Ireland. It is not suitable for working in highlands because its fur is easy to hang on thorns.
