I Would Like To Know

If any of you dog experts can identify what breed of dog this is.
The pic is from 1902 which I got off the Net. The photographer was the famous William Henry Jackson. (look him up)Jackson was the first person to photograph Yellowstone Park.

I have this one hanging in my living room. Its an original 16-by-20" still in its original frame that I bought("stole" for $38 bucks) back in the mid 70s at a flea market. At the time I had no idea who the photographer was. I just loved it and still do. When my Ex and I split up, we fought over who should own it. It's titled "Billy" his name is tooled on his collar.I'm trying to get it appraised.

Here are some more of the same dog with his "partner". I think these are really interesting because they are all showing the full photo as they were taken in Jackson's studio in 1902. As far as I know, none of these were ever produced for the public. The more I read about this fasinating man the more I'm empressed.

A few more of Billy.

I sort of thought the same thing . When I bought the photo in 75 , I owned an Irish Setter. Billy's ears don't look "feathered" enough to be a pure-bred Irish.
