Dockleaf, the Champion Bulldog: The Pride of December 1892 This photograph captures Dockleaf, the record-breaking Bulldog who fetched the highest price ever paid for a Bulldog during the late Victorian era. The image, taken in December 1892, showcases Dockleaf's powerful build, distinctive wrinkled skin, and piercing eyes that exude an undeniable sense of determination. Dockleaf's impressive lineage and exceptional qualities made him a sought-after prize among dog enthusiasts of the time. In a thrilling auction held in December 1892, Dockleaf was sold for an astonishing sum, setting a new standard for the value of Bulldogs. The exact amount paid for Dockleaf remains undisclosed, but the sale undoubtedly solidified his status as a legendary Bulldog and a testament to the enduring fascination with these beloved animals. The 1890s were an era of great enthusiasm for Bulldogs and other pedigree dogs, with many proud owners showcasing their prized pets in public events and competitions. This photograph of Dockleaf not only provides a fascinating glimpse into the past but also serves as a reminder of the deep connection between humans and their pets, a bond that continues to thrive today. Mary Evans Picture Library's collection offers a wealth of historical treasures like this one, providing valuable insights into the lives and stories of animals and their human companions throughout history.
