Pointers were considered an elite dog in Austen's time, so it makes sense that someone like Willoughby would own them (also, having cute dogs is possibly the only nice thing we can say about Willoughby). This episode we welcome back Dr. Stephanie Howard-Smith for more 18th-century dog talk. We cover everything from the care and feeding of pointers to trends in 18th-century game hunting. Sir John heartily approves.

If you have ever been quite literally swept off your feet by a man with two pointers playing round him, this episode is for you.

Thank you so much to Stephanie for joining us for this episode! You can find her on Twitter @SAHowardSmith and on Instagram @DogHistorian.
