Talk:Boy (dog)

Untitled

A basic page for Boye established. Around half the writers seem to call him 'Boye', the other half 'Boy' - I've gone for the former as the number of references just seemed to edge in that direction. Hchc2009 (talk) 19:56, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Deletion of image

Just noticed that User:Tuckerresearch deleted one of the images from the article - there was no comment made in the edit summary as to why, however. Was there any particular reason for it to be removed? Hchc2009 (talk) 07:46, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

I'm going to undo the deletion for now, but obviously if there's a good reason for removing it, let's do so.Hchc2009 (talk) 07:32, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Actually, I removed it because it superfluous. Why don't you add a picture of a dachshund and say "A 21st century representation of a non-contemporary dachshund"? TuckerResearch (talk) 02:39, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Mainly because modern poodles look rather different to 17th century ones; personally, I couldn't work out why the "lapland lady" simile worked for the 17th century audience until I saw this woodcut. There is a reference somewhere out there that suggests the original picture, on which this subsequent woodcut was based, was actually of Rupert's dog - but since I can't find what I did with the reference this doesn't help my case any!

Yet we have two contemporary renderings of the poodle in question, I think the third, which is NOT Boye is excessive. However, I don't really care either. TuckerResearch (talk) 21:16, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
