Milou, the GoldenDoodle



This beauty is a GoldenDoodle (a mix of a Golden Retriever and a Poodle) - isn't she gorgeous.

Milou is only one and a half years old yet so well behaved.  She lives in Munich and was on her way home - just passing through Menton.

Black and White



This little dog looks a bit like a Tibetan Terrier but with prick ears - so I don't know what he is - other than he's cute.

Me and my Reflection ...


It's dusk and a French bulldog is out walking on the Coulée Verte in Nice.

Lands of the Giants


Chihuahuas it seems to me, need courage, dealing with all those enormous legs and boots that surround them.

03 January 2016

Whisky



Whisky is a Maltese terrier who lives in Nice.  Don't you love his 'direct at the camera' look.  So much in those eyes.

Cali

Choupinette


This is Choupinette, aged 11 and blind in one eye. She is a 'Royal Bourbon' - a breed from the Isle of Reunion, from where she was rescued and brought into France for adoption.  Horrifically dogs are sometimes used as shark bait on the Isle of Reunion - yes, a hook fixed, often through the nose and thrown in the sea.

Waiting in line ...

Clumber


This is a Clumber spaniel at the Monaco Dog Show earlier in the year.  Clumbers are, I believe, the heaviest of all the spaniels.

Not a breed we see often n the south of France although there is one who lives in Menton.

And then there were two ...


This is a different photo of the wire-haired dachshund we met yesterday - today with a second dog hanging out of his pocket!

18 December 2015

Skull and Crossbones



Dachshunds, especially wire-haired dachshunds, are too adorable, aren't they?  This one was at Monaco Dog Show earlier this year.  He looks as if he wishes his owner would hurry up with whatever he is doing.   Note the skull and crossbones leash.

17 December 2015

Macho Dog


He looks fierce, doesn't he?  As for the hole in one ear and the chunk out of the other one, perhaps he was used as a fighting dog in the past.  Totally illegal, of course, and despicable. He was peering over a wrought iron fence in Gorbio village.

13 December 2015

Get me outta here!


Get me outta here!  Sometimes I call in to a dog grooming salon in Menton - the owner is a friend of mine - and so of course I have to snap the dogs.  This little bichon has just been bathed and is waiting to be dried.

Passing Strangers


The seeming sadness of the dog doesn't go unnoticed by the motor cyclist.

Helline's crooked smile


... there was a little dog who had a crooked smile ...

This is Helline, a Lagotto Romagnolo, an Italian water-dog breed.

Akita in a bag


We met this tiny Pomeranian a couple of weeks ago, when his owner posed him alone in Place Massena, Nice. Here he is being walked (carried!) home. He's called Akita.  His owner has a sense of humour!

This is one of the photos I exhibited at PhotoMenton recently,  but in black and white.

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.
