IT wasn't in a book that I read it but an article and if I'm not mistaken it was when I was in or right before or after I had gone to NY to the shows. It mentioned that it was for the wealthy people in that time period to show off their dogs. And some of the pictures I saw of that time era one had to be rich to wear the clothes I saw the women wearing. I sure wish I could find that article.
