So That’s What These Popular Dog Breeds Used To Look Like (19 Pics)

Dogs are essentially family members in modern-day pet keeping. Humans have had pets for thousands of years, and a lot of evolution has occurred thanks to breeding.

I’ve always wondered what it was like for dogs 100+ years ago. Did they have it as good as they do now? I’m sure they were always good boys/girls. How could they not be?

I have hundreds of photos of my dog on my phone, which is equal to one photo from 100 years ago.

Here’s what these 19 dog breeds used to look like:
