zoo boy jr



I've been tripping happily through a series of American field dog stud books published from 1901 to 1923.  Why? For the sheer entertainment of the names:

Waddle
Shadeland Flashlight
Bang Bang Fred
Sheriff
Spotiferous
Zoo Boy Jr.
Bird Graphic
Smut
Princess Nicotine Buckellew
Ornithologist 
The Abbot
Kate Perry (an English Setter from Hot Springs AR)
Queen of the Stubble
. . .  and that's from ONE year.

- Rowe, Nicholas, Mrs. The Field Dog Stud Book: an Authentic Register of Names, Colors, Ages, Pedigrees, Sex, Winnings And Owners of Field Dogs On the American Continent. Chicago: American Field Pub. Co., for Mrs. Dr. N. Rowe. v. 3 (1902), 1903.
