The humble pug has long been the darling dog of royalty (opens the original)
Read excerpt
'Give or take the odd corgi, pugs have long been the darling of royalty,' Country Life reported in 1995. The snub-nosed little dog, Chinese in origin, has the Dutch royal family to thank for its popularity after the House of Orange first took delivery of a pug in the 16th century, amid the cargo of a Dutch East India Company ship returning from the Far East. The first celebrated pug in European history is Pompey, the silver dog who thwarted the assassination of William the Silent of Holland by b
Dangerous descendant of wolves or dedicated war hero? The rise, fall and rise again of the incomparable German shepherd (opens the original)
Read excerpt
'Alsatians and caviare have this in common: one either likes them or does not,' Country Life stated in 1928. Before anything Teutonic had become widely unpalatable, the breed had been known as a German shepherd dog, but 'on examination of the case in the critical spirit aroused by the war, British and French alike agreed that the true home of the dog was Alsace' and some went so far as to trace the breed’s roots to Scotland. Consequently, the breed would for a time be renamed the Alsatian wolf d
How a bullbaiting dog became a beloved British icon (opens the original)
Read excerpt
‘Ugh! What hideous brutes!’ was the remark overheard by Country Life’s correspondent attending the Bulldog Club show in 1904.

This much-loved Scottish sheepdog once came remarkably close to disappearing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
‘My dog Sirrah,’ once wrote the ‘Ettrick Shepherd’, James Hogg, ‘was beyond all comparison, the best dog I ever saw. He had a somewhat surly and unsocial temper, disdaining all flattery, and refusing to be caressed; but his attention to my commands and interest will never again be matched by any of the canine race.’ The breed has been valued for its strength and hardiness in the field since its arrival in Britain, most likely with the Celts during the invasions of the third and fourth centuries
Meet clownish, curious and charming Peggy, Britain's naughtiest dog (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Across the marshes of the Suffolk coast, surrounded by children’s ponies, chickens and ornamental turkeys, a perfectly fired brioche bun surveys her land. It’s been a good morning for Peggy — waking at 6am was swiftly followed by a rhinoceros charge around the house and garden, during which the devilish robot lawn mower received a thorough ticking off. Breakfast was supplemented by a lick around a couple of jam jars, a snaffle of honey (again, straight from the pot) and half a packet of Dorset C
