Yorek

How would you like this doggy sitting on your lap?! Meet Yorek, a Saint Bernard puppy of 8 months - yes, just a pup and already weighing 72 kilos.

You can see his meeting with yesterday's bull terrier, Nanou in the middle photo.

Nanou

Nanou is a bull terrier of 15 months. Just after I took this photograph he met a Saint Bernard - come back tomorrow and you'll meet Yorek.

Nanou comes from Genoa in Italy.

Gucci

The second Welsh Terrier on Riviera Dogs.

Gucci is an adorable, naughty Welsh Terrier puppy - he's 7 months old with not a nasty bone in his body. Loves every one, loves other dogs, just wants to play. One high energy bundle.

Lara

Lara simply wouldn't keep still so I'm sorry her foreface is rather fuzzy. And she's the old lady! Lara is a 12 year old Welsh Terrier who lives with Yelka, who you met yesterday - also in the lower photograph. Welsh terriers obviously have energy to spare all their lives. Taken in the pedestrian street in Menton.

Yelka

Yelka, a beautiful 17 month Airedale terrier. She lives with her American owner in Luxembourg alongside an older Welsh terrier, which we'll see tomorrow. Here she is walking in Menton.

Attika

A beautiful Leonberger in Menton. She's 3 years old and her family moved to Menton only one month ago - they live in the Old Town.

Sweetie Pie

This is Sweetie Pie at the toilettage before her haircut. She lives in Menton and belongs to an English lady.

Coquinne

Coquinne was holidaying in Menton from Cologne in Germany. She's 5 years old and suffers from a condition where the eye is always dry and so she needs daily eye-drops - for life. Her owner said she is also rather hard of hearing.

So a couple of problems for this lovely Cavalier but isn't she beautiful. I love that soft sweep of jaw.

Betty

Sometimes you look at a dog and think you know the mix. Now this one has Corgi ears, doesn't she? Or so I thought. Her owner tho, who lives in Rome and was on holiday in Menton tells me she is a mix of a Bassett and a Pinscher.

Betty 6 years old. Look at the hearts on her collar and lead - one adored dog.

Dolly

Meet Dolly, a two month old English setter puppy. She lives in Gorbio village, near to Menton. She attracted lots of attention as she was carried around the village during the recent Fête de la Branda - the annual festival that celebrates the distilling of eau de vie or Grappa.

How adorable is she!

Sandy

Isn't she gorgeous. This is Sandy, a mix from Milan in Italy. She's 4 years old. She was in a refuge before her family found her. Lucky dog, lucky family. Don't you love her beautiful eyes.

In these photographs she was walking around Menton with her owners.

Vasco

This 5 year old poodle, who lives in Menton, was being carried around the plant fair that took place a week or so ago.

Pablo

Meet Pablo, a gorgeous smooth haired dachshund. He lives in San Remo, across the border in Italy. I met him in Menton.

Tess or Nina?

See yesterday's posting - is this Tess or Nina?

Nina or Tess?

On the day of the Plant Fair in Menton I photographed two Yorkies. Nina who is four years old and Tess who is two and a half years old - both live in Menton. And guess what, I can't remember which photo relates to which little girl. As I've probably said before, I need a secretary!

Tomorrow - Tess or Nina.

Daisy

Daisy was taking a turn around the Casino Gardens when I stopped her owners and asked if I could photograph her. In beautiful condition, as you can see - she is 10 years old and lives in Germany.

Prune

What's a girl to do...how would you like if someone came along and took your photograph when you were bang in the middle of being made beautiful?! Things aren't what they used to be....

Mother and daughter

Mother, Celeste, is on the left and daughter, Tina on the right. I bumped into these two Cavalier King Charles beauties walking in the Casino Gardens in Monte Carlo.

Ziya

This bright little bundle of beauty is called Ziya and she lives opposite the beautiful restored Chateau in the village of Gorbio. Last year I photographed her with her puppies and if I can find those photos I'll show you another time. Ziya lives with a great lady called Leticia.

Don't you just love Ziya's beautiful dark eyes and that gleaming coat.

Seping

A handsome Shar-pei who lives in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin. This 7 year old was out for a run along the promenade with her owner.
