"Pretty Little Dog", also known as "Little Dog" is an American reel in cut time and A Dorian.<br> It is played in AEae or Standard fiddle tuning. The parts are played ABCD (Brody) or AABB<br> (Johnson, Phillips).<br> The source for the tune is West Virginia fiddler Lee Triplett, who says he fashioned<br> it in the process of learning another tune from fiddler Doc White of Ivydale, W.Va.<br> The tune is often played at a somewhat slower tempo than the fast breakdown speed.<br> The banjo tablature is by John Letscher who based it on the playing of the Fuzzy Mountain<br> String Band.<br> It was printed in Brody's Fiddler’s Fakebook (1983) and<br> Banjo Picker's Fakebook (1985),<br> Johnson's The Kitchen Musician: Occasional Collection of Old-Timey Fiddle Tunes for<br> Hammer Dulcimer, Fiddle, etc., No. 2 (1982, revised 1988, 2003),<br> Krassen's Clawhammer Banjo (1974) and<br> Phillips' Traditional American Fiddle Tunes, vol. 2 (1995).<br> It was recorded by Fuzzy Mountain String Band on Fuzzy Mountain String Band (1972),<br> Bruce Hutton on Old-Time Music - It's All Around (1978),<br> Lost World String Band on Lost But Not Least (1978),<br> Mill Run Dulcimer Band on Sunday at the Mill (1980),<br> Foghorn Stringband on Rattlesnake Tidal Wave (2003) and<br> Critton Hollow Stringband on Poor Boy (1979).<br>
