Yes, there was a cartoon show about them. How about this - I loved the original Captain Kangaroo, when he was in the Treasure House, before he moved onto the boat. My uncle raised beagles, silkies, skye terriers and bichon frisee's(?), his kennel was the first in the East to carry them when they first came became available in the states. He was working for Amy VanderBilt's sister. He trained the dogs for the Westminster Dog Show (lived in Danbury, CT) and took them to NY but wasn't the one to take them into the ring. I don't think he had any first place winners, but I remember when he sold a beautiful silkie to Capt. Kangaroo! I thought that was the neatest thing back then since the Capt. was my hero. |
