Description

One of the first papier-mâché French Bulldog ever made by Roulette et Decamps. The first growlers appeared in 1880 in France following the ban on blood sports. English Bulldogs were exported from England to France and were bred to reduce them in size and improve their temperament. The French Bulldog emerged as a breed and were extremely popular both in France and in the UK and were sold to well to do society families. The popularity of the breed led to these almost life sized very life like toys. These have become rare to find due to their Papier Mache construction and most of them have been damaged or chewed by dogs. Because of their value fakes and reproductions have stated to appear on the market. This one is in great condition in view that he is around 140 years old.
