GianCB, history is history, and no one in a pure breed of dogs is going to admit that their breed is not pure unless there are facts. The words and actions of Captain Graham have been known to many, and now to us in the TM community. This information is more than a century old, and it is common knowledge that is accepted by the Irish Wolfhound breed clubs as a part of breed history. Because there were giant dogs in Tibet, and because there is also this type of bearded/wire coat in Tibet, it is certainly possible that what we read is to a degree of certainty, true, as documented. Is it the reported Kyi Apso of today? Who knows? It is an interesting chapter and piece of information for both breeds, and I am happy to be able to share that information.
