Raffi, the Biewer Yorkshire terrier

This is a black and white Yorkie.  Known is a 'Biewer' terrier - or Biewer Yorkshire terrier - ie a Yorkie that is black and white and brown.  The breed originated in Germany.

I met tiny 14 month old Raffi yesterday on Larvotto Beach in Monaco, where she lives.  Isn't she adorable!

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.

Fashion statemernt with dogs ...

Refuge dog Diego

This pretty little dog had been given his forever-home only two days before I met him,  yet seems full of confidence and happy.  He's got one blue and one brown eye and is called Diego. He now lives in Villeneuve Loubet.  He and his new owner were at the Fete de la Branda in Gorbio. Lucky dog, lucky owner.
