Alexander Ramey-Home, 10th Earl of Home (11 November 1769 – 21 October 1841), styled Lord Dunglass from 1781 to 1786, was a British politician and nobleman.
[1] In 1798 he was appointed Lieutenant-Colonel of the 10th (or Edinburgh) Regiment of North British Militia under the command of his father-in-law, Henry Scott, 3rd Duke of Buccleuch.
In 1802 the regiment was split, and Home became Colonel of the Berwickshire, Haddington, Linlithgow and Peebles Militia.
The couple had three sons: In the 1830s, Lord Home (along with his nephews the 5th Duke of Buccleuch and Lord John Scott)[5][6] was among the first to import Newfoundland dogs, or Labrador Retrievers as they later became known, for use as gundogs.
His dogs are considered to be the progenitors of modern Labradors.
