[ London Times ]
This newspaper, most correctly known simply as The Times, began publication in 1785 and continues to this day.
The edition of June 7, 1842, carried a "dogs for sale" notice that has J. S. Pardy back in the Newfoundland-selling business:
DOGS, uncommonly cheap, to make room for 100 brace of pointers and setters arriving daily from the north; — Mastiffs, Bloodhounds, Bull Dogs, Newfoundlands, Skyes, Dandie Dinmonts, and other rare Terriers. Field and Fancy Spaniels, etc. — Canine Repository, Bury-street, Bloomsbury-square. The proprietors beg to caution the public that T. Wilton is no longer a keeper at this repository, the only bona fide registry and advertising office for the recovery of lost dogs.
An identically worded ad appeared on June 11, 1842.
On July 13, 1842, Pardy ran another ad in The Times offering "at half the usual price, upwards of 100 brace, comprising all species extant." One month earlier (that is, the ad just above) the incoming "100 brace" was the explanation for why Pardy was selling dogs cheaply; now, just a few weeks later, those dogs are available at half price. This July 13 ad mentions a number of breeds, but not Newfoundlands. The ad also repeats the fact that "T. Wilton is no longer a keeper at this establishment." That July 13 ad will be repeated verbatim on July 16, 1842.
For a brief note on Pardy and this "T. Wilton" from whom Pardy took over the Canine Repository, check out this page here at The Cultured Newf.
Pardy mentions Newfoundlands again — not prominently, to be sure — in another ad that ran in The Times on September 28, 1842:
POINTERS and SETTERS, at 5 guineas a brace, worth 20 guineas, SELLING OFF to close the season. . . . besides bloodhounds, mastiffs, Newfoundlands, etc — Canine repository, Bury-street, Bloomsbury-square, where immediate notice is requested to be given of all lost dogs. . . .
An ad identical to the one above runs on October 5, 1842.
A slightly different version of that ad, again mentioning Newfoundlands, runs on October 19:
That ad will run again verbatim on November 8, 1842, even though Pardy will have already run an ad (see immediately below) ads that indicate he is retiring from the dog-selling business.
Pardy makes a big announcement in an ad placed in the November 1, 1842, edition of The Times: he claims he's "retiring from the canine world." This ad, in keeping with his recent practice, mentions Newfoundlands and several other breeds but without any grandiose claims:
This ad will run again verbatim on November 9, 22, 23 and 29; also on December 5, 12, 23, 24, 29.
Yet during this flurry of advertisements announcing retirement, an ad Pardy placed in The Times on November 17, 1842, makes no mention of retirement and seems to indicate business as usual, and even features some of Pardy's customary high-flying rhetoric:
DOGS. — Take notice that the Canine Repository, Bury-street, Bloomsbury-square, is the only place where ALPINE MASTIFFS and real St. John's Newfoundlands are imported, and where also Royalty, nobility, and gentry, can daily inspect a matchless kennel of dogs, comprising every species of fashion and character extant. Country orders supplied. Letters to the keeper. N. B. Immediate notice should be given of all lost dogs as a speedy method of recovery.
This ad will be repeated verbatim on November 19.
The next month, on January 13, 1843, Pardy runs an ad in The Times explaining that he will not be retiring due to an "arrangement" with "a noble duke." (That ad, which repeats verbatim on January 27, can be seen on the J. S. Pardy page here at The Cultured Newf. For the moment, at least, Pardy seems to be continuing with his business, as this ad, from the January 31, 1843, edition of The Times makes clear:
NEWFOUNDLAND DOGS, Mastiffs, Field and Fancy Spaniels, Skye and other Terriers, and indeed every species of rare and valuable dog extant. Country and shipping orders supplied to all parts of the world, and beagles, hariers [sic], and foxhounds for exportation. — At the Public Registry Office for the recovery of lost dogs, Canine Repository, Bury-street, Bloomsbury-square, under the patronage of royalty and nobility. Letters to the keeper.
The identical ad will run on February 2.
Yet whatever special "arrangment" Pardy may have had did not last long, apparently, for an ad placed in the February 13, 1843, edition of The Times indicates Pardy is being evicted from his premises — not surprisingly, since he is on the verge of filing for bankruptcy protection, as is discussed on the J. S. Pardy page here at The Cultured Newf.
Despite having filed for bankruptcy protection in May of 1843, Pardy continues to ply his trade albeit from yet another new location; his next advertisement mentioning Newfoundlands is published in The Times on November 7, 1843:
DOGS FOUND and Dogs on Sale. — A pure ALPINE MASTIFF, a brace of magnificent young Newfoundlands, two braces of broken pointers and two ditto setters. . . . all cheap. — Canine repository and register office for the recovery of lost dogs, Davies-mews, Davies-street, Berkeley-square, from Bury-street, where a list of 100 found dogs may be seen — established 1832 [?]. Letters to the manager.
The next ad I have (so far) found that I believe is Pardy's and which mentions Newfoundlands is from The Times of March 8, 1844:
DOGS. — SELLING OFF, to pay keep, etc. MASTIFFS, Bloodhounds, Buckhounds, Deerhounds, Wolfhounds, Newfoundlands, field and fancy Spaniels and Terriers of every known species; must at once be cleared, the proprietor continuing only the register and advertising office, as all the arrangments are now complete for preventing illegal traffic and exportation, and finally occurring the restoration of every lost dog. — Davies-mews, Davies-street, Berkeley-square. Non-buyers must pay 1s. Some small beagles cheap.
An ad appearing in The Times on May 1, 1844, indicates that Pardy has had to move again, but he's still in the dog-selling business:
DOGS, Majestic. — A BRACE of BLACK young NEWFOUNDLANDS, by the giant dog, matchless. The original canine repositorian of Bury-street announces his return to Whetstone-park, where, three years since, he estblished the register office, and found all the lost dogs, which he continues daily to carry out. N.B. Mastiffs, bloodhounds, spaniels, terriers, pointers, setters, etc. always on sale, and 100 couple of hounds at a day's notice. — The first stable from Great Turnstile, High Holborn.
I have found no futher ads by Pardy which specifically mention Newfoundlands. In fact, he seems to disappear entirely from the advertising pages of The Times after some ads announcing this relocation of the Repository are published in early May of 1844, which can be seen on the J. S. Pardy page here at The Cultured Newf.
