Cole Bros Circus
Posted By thecircusblog on September 14, 2012
Here is a photo of Jordan Christensen with his dogs. He was on the Cole Bros Circus in 1938. I do not know if he had a dog act or if these dogs were his personal pets? I would like to think that he and his dogs performed on the show.
A worth while read from John Herriott. Thanks for your comment.

He came to this country with 16 horse liberty act bought from Polish Circus Marekowski and his own great dane dog act worked by his Russian wife. It was a parody of a lion act in a small arena with dogs having lions heads on them. A comedy act. Don’t know if he still had it on Cole Bros. He always had dogs either as pets or trained. He was a marvelous trainer. Very humane. I cherished his councel and friendship over the years. johnny
