Abstract:
Papers of a Milwaukee attorney primarily concerned with breeding and showing Irish and Fox Terriers. Included are his files of correspondence with other breeders as well as the records he amassed while a member of various dog clubs. A few of the letters to other breeders include references to the fighting between Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland during the late 1960s. The collection also includes memorabilia from dog shows he attended, including ribbons, certificates and catalogs. Much of the collection consists of dog show catalogs.
