A Griffon Bruxellois with Bells: A Historical Snapshot of Canine Fashion This charming photograph captures the image of a Griffon Bruxellois, a small Belgian breed known for its distinctive appearance and lively personality, adorned with a collar bedecked with jingling bells. Dating back to the early 1900s, this photograph offers a captivating glimpse into the history of dog breeds and their accessories. The Griffon Bruxellois, with its distinctive coat, expressive eyes, and sturdy build, was a popular companion dog during the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. The breed's origins can be traced back to the 19th century in Belgium, where it was used as a ratter (rat hunter) and a companion dog for the wealthy. The collar with bells was a common accessory for dogs during this time, serving both practical and aesthetic purposes. The bells not only added to the dog's appearance but also alerted their owners to their whereabouts, especially in large estates or during hunting expeditions. The jingling bells also served as a deterrent to thieves, as the noise would alert the household to any intruders. This photograph, taken circa 1900, showcases the unique bond between the dog and its owner, as well as the fashionable trends of the time. The Griffon Bruxellois' expressive face and alert posture convey its intelligence and eagerness to please, making it a beloved companion for many. This image, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, is a testament to the rich history of dogs and their role in human society. It invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the enduring connection between humans and their canine companions.
