EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1931, the thrilling sport of terrier racing unfolds at the renowned Du Var Kennels on the French Riviera. The scene is set with a starting box, from which a group of determined terriers eagerly await their release. Their eyes are fixed on the prize: an artificial rat, dangling enticingly at the end of a long string. Terrier racing, a popular form of entertainment during this era, requires the dogs to chase the rat as quickly as possible through a series of jumps. The jumps in this competition range from 2ft 6 inches in height, a challenge for many of the terriers, while lower ones are set up for breeds with a lower slung body, such as Sealyhams and Scotties. The terriers' powerful muscles ripple as they strain at their leashes, ready to burst forth in a burst of energy and agility. Their handlers, standing nearby, offer encouragement and guidance, their faces reflecting a mix of excitement and anticipation. The French Riviera, with its picturesque landscapes and sun-soaked shores, provides the perfect backdrop for this lively event. The Du Var Kennels, known for their exceptional terriers, have drawn a large crowd of spectators, who cheer and clap as the first dog breaks free from the starting box and sets off in pursuit of the elusive rat. This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, when the simple joy of watching terriers race against one another brought people together for an afternoon of fun and excitement.
