Foxy Roxy


Roxy is only eleven months old but already knows how beautiful she is. In the main photo she looks as if she's hatching a plot to steal all the dog biscuits - but of course she wasn't. She was quite shy with the big dogs until she got used to them but later shared a bed with a Labrador.

Roxy lives in Monaco.

Niky


Look at this adorable confident little Pomeranian. He's called Niky and he's 4 years old and lives in Monte Carlo. I met him walking along by the yachts in Port Hercule.

Hettie, the Border Terrier


In the last post we met Harry, the Golden Retriever. This is Hettie, his house-mate and friend. Hettie is a Border Terrier, a breed I find adorable. She's 18 months old.

Harry


This gorgeous two and a half year old Golden Retriever lives in Menton - and in England. His other half is Hettie, a Border Terrier and you'll meet her in a couple of days.

I've never met a more polite and kind Golden. He is so gentle and for a young dog, incredibly calm. When he is excited he picks up a dog bed in his mouth and brings it to you! In my place, this meant an awful lot of dog beds got moved around!

Enough shopping, already!


Do you get the feeling this animal-print-clad chihuahua could live without going into a shoe shop in Menton?

And if you've nothing better to do tell me ... is this the most beautiful dog loo in the world?

All tied up...


What is it about dachshunds? They are just so entrancing... even if their leads do get wound around your leg.

Loona and the Late Photo...


Sometimes I take a photograph of a dog and the photo isn't good enough, so I don't use it and occasionally - mea culpa - I forget. So last Saturday, when I took the photo of the three guys below - the one on the right asked why I hadn't put the photo of his Yorkie pup on the blog and then I remembered. It is one of the last pics I took before I got my new camera and somehow, with all the learning processes, I forgot.

So here - rather late - is little Loona, who was only four months old at the time. Adorable eh? How could I have forgotten!

Milou


Milou, the Cavalier King Charles, is 10 years old - perhaps he has bad legs and can't walk much. Perhaps he's spoiled. Here he is in the pedestrian street of Menton.

Look at those loooooong ears...

Lilou, the Llasa Apso


This little sweetie called Lilou belongs to the owner of one of the stalls outside Menton's market. He's there every Saturday and comes from Grasse.

Lilou is a 9 months Llasa Apso. Cutie, eh?!

Suni from Hungary


A lot of people, including this dog, are in Monaco for the Monte Carlo rally.

Meet Suni. She's two years old and from Hungary. Isn't she gorgeous. She was walking in the port yesterday with her young owners who were enjoying the spectacle of the luxury yachts.

Yupi, the Border Terrier


I love Border Terriers. All the ones I've ever met have such super temperaments. This is Yupi who is four and a half and lives in Monaco. When I met him he was out for his morning walk in Fontvieille.

Edouard, the Market Dog


Meet Edouard, a year old French bulldog. He was with his owners, a young couple from Nice who have a stall in the small market that's near to the bus station in Menton. Don't be put off by his being on a chain. He is well wrapped up against the cold and fast asleep until I bothered him!

Nona


As promised (see previous post) here is Nanu's little friend. She's called Nona and is 5 months old. Shih-tzus are adorable but shih-tzu puppies are good enough to eat!

19 January 2011

Nanu


The lady who owns this little shih-tzu also has another shih-tzu - a puppy (we'll see her next time) and at home in Switzerland, she has four other dogs. I met Nanu enjoying the sunshine near the swimming pool in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin.

Daisy again...


You've met Daisy, the Labrador, on this blog before. She lives in Cannes but stays here when her owners are away. This photo is the result of needing to practice with the new camera that dear Santa Claus delivered for Christmas. I'm pleased with the shot and hope you like it too. And by the way, all the others taken on the same day were awful...so there is much to learn!

Patience in pink and purple


Everywhere I look there is a small dog tied up outside a shop - or simply waiting, off lead, as we saw the other day. This little bichon waits patiently outside a fruit and veggie shop. Smart jacket!

Waiting...


This little dog was waiting outside the patisserie for her owner. She looks like a Bearded Collie but she is far too small so I'm not sure what she is - except she's adorable.

05 January 2011

Rufus


It seems all the little dogs in the south of France are sporting rather smart coats these days. This is Rufus, a little Min Pin, who is 18 months old. He comes from Milan so no wonder he's stylish! He posed on a bench in Place aux Herbes in Menton.

You can see another smart Min Pin on Menton Daily Photo today.

Cheeky


This is Cheeky, the boxer, looking adoringly at her owner, Nicky. They live in Monaco and it's no surprise to know they adore each other.

Happy New Year to everyone - peace, health, happiness and love and licks to your dogs. woof woof

Eros getting ready for the New Year


My friend, Carla, has a Poodle Parlour in Menton and when I called in the other day, she was smartening up this little Jack Russell type dog for the New Year. He's called Eros and lives in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin.

Apologies for the not quite sharp photo - I had the wrong lens on the camera (honest!)

The Christmas Dog


Happy Christmas everyone! This is one of four dogs in the Jardin Bioves in Menton, bringing you a nice pressie! When I took this photo, the sun was shining. Since then we've had endless heavy rain for days and he now looks somewhat bedraggled!

Have a great day and thank you so much for your visits to this this blog. Woof woof!

Spike


Is he a Boxer or a Bulldog? This 9 months old pup caught my eye walking through the Christmas Fair in Menton. Legs are too long for a bulldog yet too short for a boxer and right, he's a mix of the two. Isn't he gorgeous?

Spike lives in Genoa, Italy - just along the Ligurian coast from Menton.

Pink for a Girl, Blue for a Boy...


Two adorable Bichon puppies out for a walk in Menton's pedestrian street yesterday afternoon.

Fidgie, the Wolfdog


The fishmonger in Carnoles has a new young dog. She's 12 months old and is called Fidgie. He spent most of the time we were talking throwing her heads of fish.

He told me she is a Wolf and he had to wait a long time to get her from a special breeder. He insists she is pure Wolf but to me she looks mostly German Sheepdog Dog with perhaps a bit of Wolf mixed in. He told me she's not an easy breed. He also told me that Wolves only come into season once in their life, hence his long wait for a puppy.

I gather that Wolf hybrids are now classified as Wolfdogs and that would seem to be what Fidgie is and probably what the fishmonger meant, with me misunderstanding his French.

Gigi


This lovely dog is giving me the 'do-I-have-to-do-this?' look. Gigi is a 6 year old Petit Bassett Griffon Vendeen and lives in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin.

07 December 2010

Cookie


This lovely English Setter was walking along by the sea in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin this morning. He's 3 years old. I love this breed - look at the gentle, trusting look in his eyes.
