EDITORS COMMENTS
by Philip Stretton (1908) This photograph, taken by renowned English artist Philip Stretton in 1908, showcases a group of Aberdeen Terriers in their natural hunting element. The image transports us back to the early 1900s when these agile and tenacious dogs were primarily bred for their role as vermin hunters, tasked with controlling populations of foxes and badgers. The photograph captures the essence of the Aberdeen Terrier's unique character - their alert, focused expressions, muscular frames, and short, wiry coats, all of which were essential traits for their hunting duties. The dogs are shown in various poses, some on the hunt with their noses to the ground, while others are on high alert, ears perked up, ready to bark a warning to their handlers. The image offers a glimpse into the rich history of the Aberdeen Terrier breed, which originated in the Scottish county of Aberdeen. These dogs were prized for their exceptional scenting abilities, courage, and determination, making them invaluable companions for hunters. The photograph serves as a testament to the strong bond between man and dog, as well as the important role that working dogs played in rural communities during this era. Philip Stretton's masterful composition and attention to detail bring this scene to life, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and grace of these remarkable animals in their element. This photograph is not only a valuable historical record but also a work of art that continues to captivate and inspire us today.
