[ London Times ]
This newspaper, most correctly known simply as The Times, began publication in 1785 and continues to this day.
The edition of March 23, 1846, carried the following "Newf for sale" notice — a Newf of the "Labrador breed," whatever that means. Black coat.
TO be SOLD, a large NEWFOUNDLAND DOG, Labrador breed, perfectly black; the present owner having no further use for him. Warranted a first-rate water dog. Inquire at Paul's Head livery stables, Tabernackle-walk, Finsbury-square.
