If you want to see how the Spanish dogs evolved in the Americas, google The Baldwin Project: Buccaneers of America by John Esquemeling. In the index click on The Island of Hispaniola. This is an eyewitness account written in 1666 by the author. It's a fact that some of the French from Hispaniola came to Louisiana the same time as the Acadians did. It would be hard for me to believe that they didn't bring dogs that had been a big part of their lives for a few generations. The same thing happened in Cuba and it's a documented fact the Cuban dogs were brought to Florida to hunt Indians. They were also used at prison camps during the civil war and by slave hunters.
