Origins of "Dog and Partridge" as a Pub Name
The dog and partridge are two animals that have traditionally been associated with hunting, a popular pastime among the upper classes in Britain, and many pubs were named after activities that were popular with their patrons.
The dog and partridge are also two animals that are often depicted together in heraldry. Heraldry is the art of designing and displaying coats of arms, and many pubs were named after the heraldic symbols of their owners.
What's a Canonical Name?
To simplify searches, each pub on our database has a Canonical Name - usually a shortened version of its full name missing out any common prefixes and suffixes like "The Old", "Inn", "Tavern" and so on.
This means that "The Old Crown", "The Crown Inn" and "Ye Olde Crown Taverne" are known canonically as, simply, "Crown".
We've also dropped the "The", standarised with "and" instead of "&" and in some cases simplified pluralisation.
