Hanna at PhotoMenton


A visitor to PhotoMenton yesterday! She's called Hanna, is three and a half years old and lives in Villefranche Sur Mer.  Hanna is a Coton de Tulear, a breed from Madagascar.  Dogs are only allowed in PhotoMenton if they are carried, (and Hanna is heavy) so she happily sat on my lap, or the chair, whilst her owners had a look around the exhibition.

Time to Box


Much of Larvotto Beach in Monaco is closed for winter. But nothing will stop this lovely boxer asking me to throw the ball yet once more! His owners are closing up their shop for the winter.

This is one of the photos you'll find on my stand at PhotoMenton, Palais de l'Europe, Menton. Open until Sunday. Do come along and say Hello!

Une grande partie de la plage du Larvotto à Monaco est fermée pour l'hiver. Mais rien ne peut empêcher de ce beau boxeur de me demander de lancer la balle une fois encore! Ses propriétaires ont fermé leur boutique pour l'hiver.

The dog who thinks it's a cat!


Titine, the French bulldog, thinks she's a cat!  She and her owner Denis, who live in Gorbio, are at Sini's restaurant in Menton - a great place for a light lunch - perhaps a slice of pissaladiere and with a glass of wine, of course!

Rocky


This is Rocky.  His owner tells me he is a Bichon Havernais (Havernese) although his coat doesn't seem curly enough. Perhaps Havernese pups are like this when tiny and then the coat curls later?  Rocky lives in L'Escarene which is in the hills above Nice.

Sacha


Rough Collies used to be a really popular breed. I suppose from the days of 'Lassie come Home' but nowadays they are rarely seen.

I met this beauty in Ravello, on the Ligurian coast of Italy.  He's called Sacha and he's 3 years old.

'Ours' and the photography magazine

Santa Margherita puppy


This very young puppy was being led along a street in Santa Margherita, near Portofino in Italy.  The young owner didn't know what breed he is. She said 'pastoral' but that's all she knew.  He looks as if he might have had his ears and tail cropped. Hopefully not.

Thank you to a reader who suggests he is a  Caucasian Ovcharka and indeed it is a breed who has its ears cropped.
