[edit] Contradiction
"Portuguese sailors introduced the breed to Europe in the 1600s by presenting some to Catherine of Braganza, Queen Consort to King Charles II of England.
An American naval officer, Commodore Perry, helped make this dog famous in England in 1853 when he presented a breeding pair to Queen Victoria after returning from Japan. This was the first canine gift given to the royal family. He is also credited with this breed's appearance in America when he later gave a pair to the President of the United States."
How can it be the first when the same breed of dog was giving to the Queen Consort of England 200s years prior?! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Arthurian Legend (talk • contribs) 15:48, 31 March 2007 (UTC).
