Full of history, this ring displays the Talbot, an extinct hunting dog known for its courage, vigilance, and loyalty.  The Talbot was the badge of the medieval Earls of Shrewsbury.  Legend has it that the famed Chateau Talbot, producer of French wine, was named for the Englishman John Talbot, the first Earl of Shrewsbury.
