Count Noble

Count Noble (August 1, 1879 - January 20, 1891) was a dog English Setter. He was so well known that when he died in 1891, The New York Times ran an obituary. He was popularly known as the "$10,000 hunting dog." He was described as a "national symbol of what was great in bird dogs." Writing in 1904, Joseph A. Graham gives this description of Count Noble: "A large white-black-tan dog, long in the body and not considered a well proportioned setter. He weighed sixty pounds." A portrait of Count Noble by Edmund Osthaus hangs in the first-floor reading room of the Duquesne Club.
