There is indeed. 707 00:34:24,282 --> 00:34:26,361 So, this one here that we're looking at, 708 00:34:26,362 --> 00:34:29,361 This is an early 16th century collar. 709 00:34:29,362 --> 00:34:31,321 The reason it looks so scary is 710 00:34:31,322 --> 00:34:34,361 Because dogs at this period, they were used for hunting. 711 00:34:34,362 --> 00:34:37,681 They were literally utility items. So when they were 712 00:34:37,682 --> 00:34:41,441 Hunting these wild boars in the Forests of Germany, for example, 713 00:34:41,442 --> 00:34:45,201 They had to be protected in case That wild animal turned on them. 714 00:34:45,202 --> 00:34:46,840 May I handle it? Absolutely. 715 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,281 It's pretty weighty too, isn't it? It is, it's very heavy, 716 00:34:50,282 --> 00:34:53,401 So you can imagine the size of The dog that would be wearing that, 717 00:34:53,402 --> 00:34:56,281 Not simply because of the circumference of it, 718 00:34:56,282 --> 00:34:58,241 But the actual weight, it needed to have a very, 719 00:34:58,242 --> 00:35:00,841 Very strong neck to hold the weight of it too. Yeah. 720 00:35:00,842 --> 00:35:04,601 So to own hunting dogs of this size, Obviously they needed feeding. 721 00:35:04,602 --> 00:35:07,521 So it's a person of some considerable wealth 722 00:35:07,522 --> 00:35:09,241 To even own hunting dogs. 723 00:35:09,242 --> 00:35:10,841 And of course, during this period, 724 00:35:10,842 --> 00:35:13,841 During the 16th century, to have hunting rights on land, 725 00:35:13,842 --> 00:35:16,961 It would have to be a lord of the manor of some description. 726 00:35:16,962 --> 00:35:19,801 It's working dogs, weren't they? Yes, indeed. 727 00:35:19,802 --> 00:35:21,881 So, this is 16th century, as I said. 728 00:35:21,882 --> 00:35:25,121 And absolutely the dog was a tool, it was used. 729 00:35:25,122 --> 00:35:28,561 We move on to the 17th century here 730 00:35:28,562 --> 00:35:30,321 And you can immediately see there's a difference. 731 00:35:30,322 --> 00:35:31,441 It's much more decorative. 732 00:35:31,442 --> 00:35:33,361 It's made out of a more precious metal, 733 00:35:33,362 --> 00:35:35,761 Much more fancy and much more luxurious. 734 00:35:35,762 --> 00:35:37,481 So this one here, this is 735 00:35:37,482 --> 00:35:41,521 A beautiful Italian collar... Gosh! With brass openwork. 736 00:35:41,522 --> 00:35:44,041 It's got these coats of arms on it, this family crest, 737 00:35:44,042 --> 00:35:46,921 Which shows, to me, that it became part of the family 738 00:35:46,922 --> 00:35:48,161 And was a valued item. 739 00:35:48,162 --> 00:35:51,041 That's an extraordinary statement, isn't it? 740 00:35:51,042 --> 00:35:55,321 Of status and of wealth. Absolutely. It would have been a very big dog, 741 00:35:55,322 --> 00:35:58,761 A very intimidating dog. Yes. And perhaps even a guard dog. Right. 742 00:35:58,762 --> 00:36:01,641 So someone that would greet any visitors 743 00:36:01,642 --> 00:36:04,401 And make sure that those visitors Knew they were being watched 744 00:36:04,402 --> 00:36:06,841 And I certainly wouldn't want To mess with a dog of that size. 745 00:36:06,842 --> 00:36:10,881 No. And when did dogs become, I suppose, pets? 746 00:36:10,882 --> 00:36:14,641 I see it as changing in the early 18th century. 747 00:36:14,642 --> 00:36:17,241 You can see this in the portraits of the day, the fact 748 00:36:17,242 --> 00:36:20,681 That the lapdogs were included in The portraits with their owners. 749 00:36:20,682 --> 00:36:23,041 Yes! And I think that really shows the shift in 750 00:36:23,042 --> 00:36:24,241 Considering these animals, 751 00:36:24,242 --> 00:36:27,921 Not just as tools, not as hunting dogs, not as guard dogs. 752 00:36:27,922 --> 00:36:29,601 Members of the family. Members of the family, 753 00:36:29,602 --> 00:36:30,641 Just as they are today. 754 00:36:30,642 --> 00:36:33,161 And you can really see that throughout the Georgian period, 755 00:36:33,162 --> 00:36:36,601 Moving into the 19th century and the Victorian period, 756 00:36:36,602 --> 00:36:39,201 They really do become members of the family. Yeah. 757 00:36:39,202 --> 00:36:43,521 We've got two others here, which Seem to have got padlocks on. 758 00:36:43,522 --> 00:36:45,841 They have indeed. So these two, we've got this very, 759 00:36:45,842 --> 00:36:48,721 Very small one here, which is 18th century. 760 00:36:48,722 --> 00:36:52,321 So you can see here this beautiful padlock as well 761 00:36:52,322 --> 00:36:54,361 And this was to prove ownership. 762 00:36:54,362 --> 00:36:59,281 So because dogs were a valuable item to own, 763 00:36:59,282 --> 00:37:02,441 But also had become much part of the family, 764 00:37:02,442 --> 00:37:04,241 A much-loved part of the family, 765 00:37:04,242 --> 00:37:06,521 This was so that only the owner had the key. 766 00:37:06,522 --> 00:37:08,481 So if there was ever any question about 767 00:37:08,482 --> 00:37:10,761 Who owned that dog, the person with the key 768 00:37:10,762 --> 00:37:13,201 Could unlock it and prove their ownership. 769 00:37:13,202 --> 00:37:16,640 Annie, thank you so much.
