Monaco Dog Show - a gaggle of dogs


Whilst at the dog show I had the good fortune to meet such a nice Italian young lady, Aurora. How pretty is that name! She's a professional handler from Italy, spoke perfect English, and she kept bringing more and more dogs into an empty ring for me to photograph - rare breeds such as a Pumi and a Kooikerhundje - you'll meet these dogs over the next days. In this photograph, whilst walking to the carpark I saw her with these five dogs - two Pugs, a French bulldog, A Griffon Bruxellois (that's the little furry one - front left) and a Petit Brabancon (also a type of Griffon - front right).

Do click on the link to see a photograph of Aurora on Monte Carlo Daily Photo today. And for Aurora's own website, please click on the link in the next paragraph.

As I wrote on Monte Carlo Daily Photo, Aurora is the best sort of dog handler, enthusiastic, loves the dogs yet handles them in a calm and professional manner. Hardly surprising as she's won an enormous amount of Junior Handling Awards. She also speaks perfect English.

  1. Hi Jilly - you have outdone yourself today! What a lovely bunch of dogs! I love everyone of them and I could just steal that black Frenchie - then again, those pugs are nice and the Griffons - hell, I shall take the lot! LOL

  3. They really look adorable, yet a little bit funny :- )However, all those breeds are not unusual at all in dog shows in Finland. I would say they are quite common.

    We are going to the dog show next weekend with our Kromfohrländer.
