Hans Klose with one of his performing dogs. Hans Klose owns 21 dogs, including those that have retired from performing. “I don’t let go of the dogs that have been with me because they are a part of my family.” All of the dogs except for the poodles were rescued from pounds and shelters. Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus started in 1919 when the circus created by James Anthony Bailey and P. T. Barnum merged with the Ringling Brothers Circus. Currently, the circus maintains two circus train-based shows, the Blue Tour and the Red Tour, as well as the truck-based Gold Tour. Each train is a mile long with roughly 60 cars: 40 passenger cars and 20 freight. Each train presents a different "edition" of the show, using a numbering scheme that dates back to circus origins in 1871 — the first year of P.T. Barnum's show.
