The handsome intaglio setter depicted against a red sunset reminds us of the old nautical saying, "Red sky at night, sailor's delight," meaning smooth sailing ahead. But with our special interest in Civil War dogs, it naturally reminds us of these two wonderful hunting dogs with their officers aboard the US gunboat Miami. You can see the full scene in the original 1861 photo here, at the Library of Congress:https://www.loc.gov/item/2013647359/. Details on our charm necklace are at the LoyaltyOfDogs Etsy shop, here: https://loyaltyofdogs.etsy.com/listing/971120530.

https://www.npr.org/2023/11/23/1215029432/national-dog-show-winner-stache-sealyham-terrier?ft=nprml&f=191676894
Sealyhams may be little-known today, but they were popular in the the early- to mid-20th Century. Since then their numbers have declined so drastically that they're considered an endangered breed.

You can find them here, in our set of "Five Assorted Terrier Cards":
https://loyaltyofdogs.etsy.com/listing/803621977 .
