What kind of pets did people have during the American Revolution?


Just a curious question. A friend and I were discussing this and we found it would just be a neat thing to know. Did they even have Pets? I’ve heard dogs were popular, but what kind? I’ve heard a lot of different answers, and research is too much of a pain for a ‘just to know’ question.

I don’t think they tended to keep pets (not the way we think of them), though they would have had working animals, including dogs to guard and manage livestock, horses for transportation, oxen for pulling heavy loads, and cats for pest control. I’m sure there were a few people who had a particular fondness for an animal, but I doubt it was the norm. It would have been an extravagance.

Success in Internet Marketing can be extremely hard to come into, but there is an easy way with really no cash involved and it is by finding a niche and building a eccommere storefront around it. So you say how do you learn how to do that? Well the only way I know of that leads you to success is to invest in Niche Blueprint 2.0 by a couple successful marketers knows as Steven Clayton and Tim Godfrey.
