Fiston


Fiston is the Croc'antine dog.  Croc'antine is a small restaurant in Menton, opposite the Cocteau Musuem, where you'll eat lovely freshly food, cooked and served by Fiston's charming owners.  I don't think dog biscuits are on the menu though ...

Vegas


Just got this shot in time as a split second later, Vegas got too close and I got a lick of love.  Vegas, a 4 month old Staffordshire Bull Terrier, was in on the Croisette in Cannes enjoying the passing parade for the Film Festival -  film stars and wannabe film stars.

Dogs galore


Not content with six Shelties, this lady has dogs on her handbag - and what's she got painted on her fingernails? Perhaps dog faces ...

Tofu



Tofu, an adorable toy poodle was with her owners at the Beausejour restaurant in Gorbio yesterday.  I thought she was a puppy - but, no, she is three years old and lives in Nice.  So cute.

Giving the eye ...


Here's looking at you, kid.  A Bearded Collie is giving the eye at the Monaco Dog Show.  Prior to going into the ring, her whiskers are tied in rubber bands so that she can drink without the fur getting wet.

Double Irish


Two gorgeous Irish Wolfhounds in my garden.  I took this photo in 2009 with the camera before the camera before the camera before .... so there's not a lot of definition but aren't they gorgeoous creatures!

Norfolk terriers


How cute are these two!  They are Norfolk Terriers. 

There are identical to a Norwich terrier except the Norwich has prick ears.  A good way of remembering the difference is to think of the spire of Norwich cathedral and then the 'up' ears of the Norwich terrier.

02 May 2016

Prickle


Typical Jack Russell pose of waiting to pounce!  But in this case, Prickle will have no luck as the bantams are protected by wire-netting. Prickle (she's 15 years young) - and the bantams - live in the beautiful Clos du Peyronnet in Menton.

Spirou


French Bulldogs melt my heart.  This is Spirou, he's 4 years old and lives in Gorbio. 

Unfortunately he has leishmaniosis, but with regular treatment he will continue to live a normal life, albeit sometimes with a bit of weakness. For anyone that doesn't know, leishmaniosis is caused by a bite from a phlebetome (a type of tiny mosquito) that puts parasites into the blood. There is no cure, but with drugs it is kept in remission.

Isn't he adorable!

Marie


This is Marie.  She's a black labrador or perhaps a lab mix - she's around 3 or 4 years old and lived in a refuge until she was given her forever home by a family in Gorbio.

Well-travelled Daisy


Daisy, the Labrador, was born in England, lived in the south of France, moved to Australia and then moved back to the UK - where she now lives.  But one time, she was indeed a Riviera Dog.

Lascar


He looks a bit like a strange dachshund, doesn't he but in fact he's a Bassett des Alpes (also called a Alpine Dachsbracke) The breed originates from Austria and is used to hunt wild boar and also to find wounded animals and this is exactly what he does in Gorbio with his owner.

02 April 2016
