[ London Times ]
This newspaper, most correctly known simply as The Times, began publication in 1785 and continues to this day.
On November 20, 1835, The Times carried an advertisement that I belive is by Pardy. The address immediately below is different from that in all preceding advertisements, and, oddly, the next Pardy advertisement (also below) will return to using the original address. But I still believe this November 20 ad is by Pardy, partly because of similarity of language and tone but mainly because later ads from 1836 that read just like those written by Pardy will use this same "Albany" address, and then after that an ad will appear stating that the seller has moved his dogs from the Albany address to a Russell Square address, and in a couple of those Russell Square advertisements the seller will identify himself as "Pardy" and, later, "J. S. Pardy." So I believe all of these ads were published by the same dog seller, John Stephen Pardy.
HORSES, etc., Newfoundland and other Dogs. — On SALE, the young GIANT DOG, decidedly the highest, most majestic, and lion-like dog ever offered for sale; also some others, male and female, from St. John's . . . . — Albany stables, 14, Frederick-street, Colosseum. Letters free.
The edition of February 24, 1836 carried the following "Newfoundlands for sale" notice; the person making the offer is, I believe, John Stephen Pardy, the London dog dealer (and stable-keeper) who, beginning in late 1834, ran a series of ads offering puppies sired by "the royal giant dog", who just might be one of the Newfoundlands painted by Sir Edwin Landseer. Note that the street address in the advertisement below is identical to that in those earlier ads. This ad also features the same grandiose language found in the earlier ads by Pardy.
It is also possible that this is the same person who, a few months after the ad below appeared in The Times, placed another string of ads offering Newfoundlands for sale from a different street address, but with similar claims about the Newfs being sired by "the royal giant dog" and, later, by Bashaw, the Newf painted by Sir Edwin Landseer and sculpted by Matthew Cotes Wyatt.
HORSES, Newfoundland Dogs, etc. — A few splendid YOUNG NEWFOUNDLADS, of various colours, just arrived from St. Johns, and most certainly without equal for tricks and water. . . . Trials allowed. Orders supplied. [?] Menagerie, Harpur-Mews, Theobald's-road, Red Lion-square [?]
