History of dogs, Tudor bloodhounds, and Victorian working breeds explores how our best friends shaped human civilisation. Join Mike Loades as he tracks the "paw prints of history" from the royal courts of Elizabeth I to the rugged wilderness of the Louisiana Purchase. This episode features Dr John Caius’ 1570 classification of English dogs, highlighting the specialised roles of bloodhounds in military campaigns and poodles as elite crossbow retrievers.
