EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the excitement and historical significance of a Ratting Dog Show held in the iconic Champs Elysees, Paris, France, in the late 1800s. The Champs Elysees, a renowned boulevard known for its beauty and elegance, played host to this unique event, showcasing the skills and abilities of these remarkable dogs. Ratting dogs, also known as terriers, were bred for their exceptional rat-catching abilities. They were highly valued for their agility, courage, and tenacity in hunting down rodents, making them popular companions for farmers and urban dwellers alike. The sport of ratting gained significant popularity during the 18th and 19th centuries, with various competitions and shows held across Europe to celebrate the achievements of these exceptional animals. In this photograph, we see a proud handler and his rat terrier, both focused intently on the task at hand. The dog, with its muscular build and alert expression, exudes energy and determination. The crowd, gathered around the ring, watches with bated breath as the dog demonstrates its skills in hunting down and capturing a rat. The historical context of this image is further emphasized by the elegant attire of the spectators and the grandeur of the Champs Elysees, highlighting the importance and prestige of such events during this era. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of ratting and the role these dogs played in the daily lives of people during the late 1800s. It is a testament to the deep bond between humans and their animals, as well as the enduring appeal of competitive sports and the joy they bring to communities.
