Victorian dogs were a popular subject in art and literature during the 19th century. The Victorians had a deep affection for dogs, and various breeds were featured prominently in society and media. During this period, the idea of “purebred” dogs became more formalized, and many breeds we recognize today were developed or popularized.
Dogs often appeared in Victorian paintings, photographs, and even as subjects in literature. For example, Queen Victoria herself was a significant figure in the promotion of certain breeds, including the Pomeranian and the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
Victorian dog owners were also known for their elaborate and sometimes extravagant care of their pets. This included fashionable grooming, detailed portraits, and even dedicated dog cemeteries.
