Throughout history, the dog has been
the closest animal to the human
family. The dog's role as
comapanion, hunter, herder, war dog
and many other callings is
docu-mented in cultures around the
world.
Leaders of many nations are often
photographed with their dogs. This
was even true of the founder of the
Turkish Republic, Mustafa Kemal
Ataturk. His love of dogs was well
known.
The first historical reference to
dog grooming was in 19th century in
France, under the reigns of Louis XV
and Louis XVI since then, grooming
has grown into a fully re-cognized
profession in all parts of Europe
and the United States. |
