Before the introduction of the Labrador Retriever in England, there were two famous breeds discovered over 300 years ago in Newfoundland (Island of Newfoundland): The large dog named after the island, "the Newfoundland, and a smaller one called "St. John's dog", founder of the dog that will be renamed Labrador Retriever. Most modern histories believe that the Newfoundland dog, or rather his ancestor "Newfoundland Dog" or "Water Dog", is the origin of the Labrador Retriever, as well as the Chesapeake Bay Retriever and Golden Retriever but this is not correct.
To better understand the origins and history, you must understand the history of that Newfoundland (Newfoundland). The first inhabitants of these lands were the Dorset Eskimos who disappeared before the discovery of the New World by John Cabot in 1497. With this discovery, the first settlers began to arrive and already a chronicle of the time explaining what were difficult conditions of life in this island for men and dogs. But the great abundance of fish of its waters soon became reach the fishing fleets of the Old Continent and the big business of the merchants of fish with hordes of unscrupulous settlers arrived, bringing the island to be outlawed for several tens of anni.Gli natives of these areas (Beothucks Indians) were killed and robberies and murders among the settlers themselves could not be counted. Despite all these facts, the fishing industry did not stop. European countries with its merchants of fish and the fleet continued to fish moving their fleets in the winter and making her return in the summer. For 200 years, things were so, the fish was harvested, dried and sent to individuals who led a life very hard. You may wonder what all these centers with the Labrador Retriever. Soon said, if there were dogs natives, how could they survive in a cruel society, vulgar, barbaric? And if these dogs were the ancestors of today's Lab, as they did so to maintain a docile temperament and condescending?
not forget that dogs of this historical period are working dogs. Between 1600 and 1900, only the aristocrats could afford the luxury of having pets and in Newfoundland there was only the working class: artisans, fishermen, sailors, lumberjacks. So what might look good or offer a dog to serve these individuals. Dogs are very adaptable meeting certain morphological trappings because of environmental conditions in which they were to survive, be of the excellent hunting companions and working in short or even help simplify the daily work of man. The selection was a natural consequence, tempered, strong health, eager to be helpful, in symbiosis with the water as the chronicles of the news report of dog used for the recovery of fish released by the networks and then hoisted to board with ropes (see release). These dogs so struck by their generosity, the sailors, who were imported through the ports of Poole and Greenock sold the ring for the British fishing fleet to return from Newfoundland. One of the earliest writings showing news of the dogs of this island is contained in a log book written on the ability sailor Aaron Thomas in 1794, where they tell the capabilities of these dogs already so unknown in England, but not to make comparisons with the great benefit they have for the people of these cold lands ...
Between the 700 and early 800, St. John's dog is now so popular that it sold to the return of ships in ports. "The second Earl of Malmesbury, a famous hunter of the early nineteenth century, lived at Heron Court, which is only 4 miles from the port of Poole, and managed to get hold of the now famous and very rare dog, using it for hunting. The interest continued to increase but only a few specimens and in the hands of a few families of the hunters were "available". Probably not "The second Earl of Malmesbury "Today, the Labrador is not gladden our existence, in fact we can say without a shadow of a doubt that the first attempt to breed the dog of St. John in England is due to this family and its progeny. From here Lab then appears and disappears in 1823 at the famous British artist Sir Edwin Landseer find a picture of Cora, a Labrador bitch, in 1835 we have news of the dog in Scotland when "The Duke of Buccleuch" began to breed, around 1839 began to mention the dog as "Labrador" and you know that "The fifth Duke of Buccleuch and his friend" The Tenth Lord Home "brought with them on the yacht in Naples, Moss, a fine specimen of the Labrador. There are written on when the Duke Scottish and his brother, Sir John Scott, began to import these dogs, it is assumed that they were able to have some examples from the Scottish port of Greenock, continued to breed and import. Dogs as Jock, Nell and the legendary men of the sea in Scotland, Brandy, are the ancestors of today's Labrador. The latter takes its name from an incident had happened to the high seas in the north Atlantic, in fact, during a storm a cap of a flight crew overboard and the dog lunged for recovery, but given the bad sea conditions are not managed to hoist on board for two hours. Pulled him up so exhausted that they had to use to revive him Brandy. In 1841 after the death of parents, children, "The eleventh Lord Home" and "The Third Earl of Malmesbury" in raising the Labrador continued so that it became the largest importer and breeder of these dogs for 20 years. Between 1865 and 1875, Mamelsbury, Montagu Guest, Lord Wimborne and CJ Radclyffe Lab acquired by Hawker sea captain. Later, a son of Radclyffe raised the first yellow Labrador.
At the end of the 800 descendants of Buccleuch Home and met with one of the most famous events of hunting and carry water at Bournemouth England (location close to Poole Quay and Heron Court), this was a real blow of luck for the non-extinction of the breed. The two gentlemen were surprised to see it race bred by their race at the home of "The Earl of Mamelsbury" that thrilled by the discovery of other admirers of these dogs gave to both of the copies of his breeding. Ned (1882) and Avon (1885) are the ancestors of the Labrador of the twentieth century. We open a parenthesis on why he had risked extinction of a race. In 1780 the Governor of the island of Newfoundland, Edwards decided that only a dog of this type can be maintained with local families. This new law did not create major problems for most of the races in much greater numbers, but for "the Newfoundland dog" and "St. John dog" problems began. A few specimens were able to cross the Atlantic. In addition, 100 years later, the island in 1885, entered into force for a hefty license fees for owners of dogs with salt on them and their litters. The tragedy was complete when, after the Sheep Protection Act and taxes, the lack of specimens did not import any. The final blow he gave in 1895, "the British Quarantine Act, which imposed a ban on admissions in England for those dogs without a license and a quarantine of 6 months for those who were in possession of that document. Around the beginning of '900 the Labrador Retriever in England continued to be used more and more sporting events, while in Newfoundland St. John's dogs were increasingly rare, and around 1930 disappeared almost completely. In 1903, the Labrador has now become popular in England was recognized by "The Kennel Club" as a race, and in 1908 the Labrador have said the law calls for hunting. From here on is a series of successes and accolades. Appeared in the English world retrieveristico a figure that laid the foundations for the popularity of the Lab in the world, in fact, Viscount Knutsford (Munden Kennel) fell in love with this breed making it known to most people, his first Labrador was Sybil, the daughter of a dam line blood of Malmesbury. In 1911 Peter Faskally was another famous breeder, owned by Sir Archibald Buttler, won "the International Gundog League's Championship." The First World War destroyed many farms including "Munden Kennel" but was revived in the years following the war with the help of Lorna Countess Howe (Banchory Kennel). In 1916 he founded the two characters in question, with the help of other fans, "The Labrador Retriever Club".
we come to the end of our story that culminates with the Dual Champion Banchory Bolo and one of the last specimens of Newfoundland's Dog, Lassie, ancestor of today's Labrador Retriever.
The first is certainly the most important 900 for Lab of the features put into circulation by its direct descendants. He was born in 1915 and after two years is "given" to which Lady Howe, a thousand adventures, makes it a Dual Champion (the story is written Bolo by John Roland, a famous writer of the '30s, in the book: You'd Like to Meet), his descendants go straight to Malmesbury to Heron Court Kennels Scandal of Glynn by his father, and ancestors of Peter Faskally (1908), Munden Sixty (1897), Buccleuch Avon (1885), Mamelsbury Juno (1878), Mamelsbury Tramp (1878), only those registered. The second is the ancestor of today's Labrador. Found on the island of Newfoundland, along with a brother around the early 80s in a very remote fishing village of Grand Bruit, on the southern coast of the island accessible only by sea. The two specimens had managed to survive extinction, due to a remote area where they lived. Owned by Mr. James, an old fisherman (80 years) who remembered that his father and grandfather had always owned and Water Dogs which were often exported to England. These two subjects, respectively, 15 and 13 years are the last of their line workers and their ancestors were the first parents in England, the Labrador Retriever.
