I have found several for tri-colored pups noted, some noting white coloration or markings, but I want to see the original records somewhere validated before I post it as factual support, I'm just finding the references to them atm..I'm actually looking at all of the referenced accounts she posted now, really hard to sort through all the nonsense references to it all on the net though...LOL not that many here care, personally I find it all very interesting. |
My "take on getting facts" is a well-established method favored by historians, journalists, scientists, and more.
I was addressing the case of Ernest Hemingway's dog, and not white pups in general. There may very well be several books/sources that reference Hemingway having a "white Yorkie," and while these books/sources may not attribute this information to another source, the authors probably do not have
first hand knowledge of the dog. Misinformation has a way of getting repeated often. Heminway may have had such a dog, but I would want better proof.
I can show you multiple reputable sources from 1914, including the New York Times, that claimed Germans were murdering Belgian babies. Doesn't make it true. Dead Belgian babies were a myth.
