THE FINEST OF DOG HOUSES (Apr, 1917)
THE FINEST OF DOG HOUSES
WHO WOULDN’T BE A POMERANIAN?
New York now boasts the largest and finest equipped dog house in the world; it provides a home for twenty-five prize dogs belonging to Mrs. Eldridge Gerry Snow, Jr. The interior of the home is furnished with the finest Japanese tapestries and bric-a-brac for the edification of the canines.
Where did they get “Pomeranian”? The Snows (but mainly the husband, contrary to this article) were renowned Pekingese breeders, and in fact that doggie poking her head out in the second picture is a Peke.
Pomerania is now part of Germany, and Peking (now Beijing) is in China, of course. So why use JAPANESE tapestries, etc?
@Toronto: You think the dogs would mind?
