Lula

Meet Lula. I met this pup in a market in Aix-en-Provence today. She's a mix of a Border Collie (which you can see in those staring eyes) and a Pyrenean Mountain Dog. Too adorable!

Border stares

These two Border Collies were waiting to go into the showring at the last Monaco Dog show. Border Collies have the most intense stare don't they? Such intelligent dogs.

This little bundle of love is called Nina. She's two years old and was recently adopted by a lovely couple in Gorbio village, Muriel and Doudou - now the family is complete!

Cutie pie

This beyond cute Pomeranian was waiting patiently for her owner to take her home. She's at Cap 3000, a massive shopping centre at Saint Laurent du Var, just beyond Nice.

Life-saver

Who doesn't love a Newfie? This dog was one of many Newfoundlands in Menton demonstrating their life-saving skills in the sea.

For those of you interested, Crufts - the biggest dog show in the world - starts tomorrow in Birmingham. This is what thousands and thousands of exhibitors will be doing in preparation and what I used to do for many years including judging there in 2006. Good luck to all my friends who exhibit their dogs, and especially the Old English Sheepdogs!

(This is the tail of Sjaak Nelleke's dog when they visited the Monaco dog show one year).

Blossom

Meet Blossom. She's a Havanese (the national dog of Cuba) - and she lives with her sister part of the time in the UK and part of the time in Monaco. Here she is thinking life must be better the other side of the terrace railings.
