Japanese Chin


Here's a breed you don't often see - a Japanese Chin.  It's a type of toy spaniel and was well-known to the Japanese nobility. It's also known for have a 'strabismus' of the eye. And no, I didn't know what that meant either! Apparently it means it has a squint! I met this little cutie in Menton.

Armful of Dogs


An armful of dogs!  On the left a chihuahua and on the right a Tibetan spaniel, a breed you don't often see around here.  I bumped into them in Menton yesterday and had to take a quick photo.

Blow Dry


This old shih-tzu has just been bathed and is in the drying cabinet at a friend's grooming salon in Menton.  Behind the glass, the warm air blows her hair dry.

Billie and ball


Billie, the Shih-tzu.  She was named after Billie-Jean King, the tennis player so no wonder she is guarding her ball!

Begging Bouchette


This is Bouchette, the Bassett Hound who belongs to the Restaurant Beausejour in Gorbio.  In fact, she's sitting on the terrace of the bar opposite, Les Terrasses, hoping for a morsel from the table and not getting it ...!

Can I? Can I?


This is one little dog who adores his owner and just wants to please.  We've met Mr. Mojo before and I know we'll meet him again. Mr. Mojo lives in Monte Carlo with his owner, my friend Nicky.

Basil


Meet Basil, an exceedingly handsome Llasa Apso.  Note the smart animal print container (attached to his lead) and used to hold his 'poop' bags.  I met Basil in Gorbio village yesterday.

Table Dog?


This Jack Russell looks as if he's standing on a table but in fact he is standing on a wall alongside this restaurant in Place du Cap, Menton.   Dogs are part of life in France and if you go to a restaurant, then of course, your dog can go too.  I approve!

'Fair' dog


There's a Fair on in Menton at the moment and this dog was tied up at the back of one of the rides waiting for his owner to close down for the day.  Note the one blue and one brown eye.

William


Couldn't resist snapping William today. I met him on the promenade above Larvotto Beach in Monaco.  Just a pup, a big pup and looking adorable. He's a Standard Poodle or, as the French call them, a Caniche Royale.

Lolly



Boxer puppies are adorable... well all puppies are adorable!  I love Boxers but they are boisterous and very strong. She'll be a ball of muscle when she matures.  Her name is Lolly and I met her on the pedestrian street in Menton.
